Family remembers 19-year-old Jay Slater at his funeral as they say goodbye to their beloved teen.

A large gathering of people has gathered outside of the chapel today to watch the funeral service of Jay Slater, a British teenager who tragically passed away while on vacation in Tenerife. The service, being held in Accrington, Lancashire, has drawn many well-wishers who have been asked to wear something blue in honor of Jay's memory.

In lieu of flowers, Jay's loved ones have requested that donations be made to LBT Global, a crisis support charity that provided immense help to the family during this difficult time. A post-mortem examination revealed that Jay's cause of death was from traumatic head injuries sustained from a fall. The service, described as a "celebration of life", will take place at Accrington Cemetery Chapel before Jay is laid to rest.

While the family will be providing floral tributes, they have also extended an invitation for others to bring a single rose to place with Jay. His mother watched as her son's casket was carried, surrounded by a sea of blue in honor of Jay. His family also shared a heartfelt tribute, highlighting the major events and passions that defined Jay's life.

Described as a "loving son" and "cherished brother", Jay was also deeply loved by his friends and extended family. He had a passion for football, playing for Huncoat United FC and St Joesph's Sunday team, and also enjoyed spending time with his friends. Music and dance were also a big part of Jay's life, with him attending various festivals and events across the country.

His recent trip to Tenerife for the NRG music festival unfortunately ended in tragedy. While his last known location was the Rural de Teno Park, it was discovered that he had been staying at an Airbnb in Masca. The two men who rented the property were initially thought to be involved, but were later cleared of any connection to Jay's death. The Spanish Civil Guard believes that Jay may have fallen in a steep and inaccessible area, leading to his untimely passing.

As Jay's family and friends say their final goodbyes, they will always remember him as a beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend. His coffin, adorned with his name in large light blue letters, serves as a somber reminder of the young life taken too soon. Jay's love for music, dance, and spending time with loved ones will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
