Noah's body was discovered on Saturday.

Tragic teenager Noah Donohoe's funeral is to take place this morning in Belfast.

The 14-year-old boy's body was found on Saturday in a storm drain in the north of the city, following a week long search operation.

The service at St Patrick's Chapel on Donegall Street will be strictly private, however there is expected to be a funeral cortege from the church to his school, St Malachy's College.

Jennie Cornell, from the North Belfast Friendship group, says people are heartbroken Noah is gone.

''There's just a universal feeling of horror and sadness and the tragedy of it and the desire to express that'', she said.

''And the desire to support his family friends and school mates''.

A fundraiser to cover the costs of Noah's funeral was created three days ago, and managed to raise over €72k (£65k).
