THE funeral of an eight-year-old boy who was crushed to death by a gravestone will be held this week.

Ciaran Williamson was hit by the gravestone in Craigton Cemetery, in Cardonald, last Tuesday night.

He was out playing with pals when the tragedy happened.

Relatives, friends, school pals and neighbours will gather for a funeral service in Lammermoor Road, Cardonald, on Friday.

He will then be laid to rest at a private burial in Barrhead.

Ciaran's family described him as a "little prince".
