The funeral of the Ulster Rugby player and 2 other family members who died after falling into a slurry tank at the weekend has taken place.
22-year-old Nevin Spence, his brother Graham and father Noel all lost their lives at the farm in Co. Down on Saturday.
Nevin’s sister Emma survived the accident.
She twice climbed into the tank to try to save them.
She told the service they were “ordinary men, who God made extraordinary”.
Nevin Spence’s coffin was draped in his Ulster rugby shirt.
Floral tributes have been left at the Ravenhill ground by fans and relatives.
The 22-year-old played 42 times for Ulster and was part of the squad that got to the Heineken cup final last season.
Spence who made his debut for the Province back in 2010 also played twice for the Ireland Wolfhounds and trained with the 6 Nations squad of Declan Kidney.
His sister Emma led the tributes in church calling her brother ‘Wee Nev’.
