I will miss him beyond measure

LARGE crowds turned out yesterday to pay tribute to a British aid worker killed in Gaza.

Friends and family of James Kirby, 47, who was one of seven World Central Kitchen workers killed in the attack on April 1, commemorated his life at St Mary Redcliffe Church, Bristol, yesterday.

James, who had fought in Bosnia and Afghanistan, was part of WCK's security team travelling with a convoy that had just unloaded more than 100 tons of vital food aid brought from overseas. He was killed in an Israeli air strike alongside two other Britons.

Family and close friends carried his coffin draped in the Union Flag down the churchyard. His mum Jacqui said: "I cannot express more deeply my gratitude for the outpouring of love I have seen over the weeks since his tragic death in Gaza.
