Tributes paid at funeral of teen who died on Tenerife

Debbie Duncan, 55, was seen alongside a horse-drawn carriage pulling the coffin of Mr Slater at Accrington Cemetery Chapel, Lancashire. Mr Slater died while on holiday in Tenerife after falling from a height in the remote Rural de Teno National Park. He had travelled to the Spanish island in June with friends to attend a music festival.

His body was brought to the chapel in a blue coffin with “JAY” embossed on the side, and was carried to the sounds of Lana del Ray’s “Forever Young”. His loved ones have also asked that instead of flowers, people could donate to LBT Global, an overseas crisis support charity that helped his family through their heartache.
