FAMILY and friends have said a final 'goodbye' to a much-loved 26-year-old who died unexpectedly at the Royal Stoke last month.

- Yasmin Sarwar

More than 100 mourners paid their respects to Liam Thomas Byatt at Carmountside Crematorium on Monday.

His sister and 'soulmate' Nicola gave a beautiful poetic tribute to her little brother during a moving speech.

Celebrant Steve Game-Blackmoor told the procession how Liam, from Longton, had been independent from an early age, and at two years old escaped home 'to buy a train from Woolworths'.

He spoke about his adoration for travelling throughout the UK - and beyond in later life - with family and friends who meant the world to him.
