Mum Leanne Toland and dad Andrew Murray were supported by relatives as they gathered at St Joseph’s Church in Tollcross. Leanne wore  a green  T  shirt with a picture of her 'little prince.'

Lennon was killed on his way home from school last Monday in Glasgow’s East End.

He was struck by a van which mounted the pavement on Dalness Street in the East End last week.

The tot, from Tollcross, had bent down to pick up stones on the pavement when the vehicle mounted the pathway to gain access to an unauthorised car park last Monday.

This morning a  white carriage was led by two white horses with with green and white plumes towards St Josesph’s.

Lennon’s tiny super hero coffin was carried by pallbearers from the carriage which had white and yellow flowers on top spelling out 'Our Bhoy Lennon.'

A piper led Lennon, who had just started at St Paul's Primary in Shettleston, into the church followed by his parents Andrew and Leanne and grandparents Karen, Brian and Sandra and cousin Declan.

Father Andrew McKenzie, who led the service, told mourners to stand together in grief and sorrow.

He described Lennon as a much loved young boy who just hours before his death was dancing energetically with class mates.

Fr McKenzie spoke of the love shown to Lennon by his parents and how the youngster would often get his dad into trouble with his gran and of how Lennon's mum would give him 'Spiderman kisses'.

Following the church service, those attending were due to make their way to St Peter’s Cemetery on London Road.

Lennon’s family previously told the Evening Times of their grief following the schoolboy’s death.

His mum Leanne Toland described her son as a “wee prince” and said she ‘couldn’t believe’ what had happened, while grandfather Brian Toland said: “The driver’s come in while Lennon was picking up stones with his dad. He was our special wee boy.”
