Steven Gilheaney funeral
Hundreds of mourners turned out to Morriston Crematorium, some travelling from as far as Scotland and Ireland, for the service of scrap metal dealer Steven Gilheaney who died after collapsing at the end of January.
A fleet of five silver phantom Rolls Royces led the funeral procession, and doves were released as part of the service.
Mourners also sang traditional travellers’ songs at the graveside.
The former pupil of St Joseph’s Primary was born in Morriston, and had lived at Swansea’s permanent traveller site behind Morganite on the Enterprise Zone.
