HUNDREDS of people are today expected to attend the funeral of Ricky Serjent who died last week.

The 23-year-old, a former pupil of Wood Green School, Witney, died after leaving a kickabout with friends at the town's artificial turf pitch in Gordon Way.

Ricky, of Windmill Road, North Leigh, was born with a heart condition and earlier this year had an operation at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.

The funeral takes place at his village church of St Mary's at 10.30am.
