Friends and family have paid their last respects to a 20-year-old man who died while on holiday.
Tyler Kerry, from Basildon, Essex, was on his first family holiday abroad when he was found dead at the bottom of a hotel lift shaft in Turkey in November.
Grandmother Collette Kerry paid tribute to her grandson before Pitsey’s funeral, saying they were still searching for answers to the incident.
“The house wouldn’t be the same without him, he filled it with laughter and fun and we will miss him forever,” she added.

The president of the Republic of Türkiye said in a statement in December that the case had been investigated “carefully” and said Mr Kerry had fallen from a height.
At the time, Mrs Cliffe told the BBC she was “extremely disgusted” by the police investigation and conclusions and believed Mr Taylor had been murdered.
The family is working with Overseas Justice Advocacy to help people with law enforcement issues overseas.
Private autopsy results are expected in the coming weeks.
