Heartbroken family in emotional farewell to footie-mad Grenfell Tower victim Tony Disson at horse-and-cart funeral procession

THE heartbroken family of Grenfell Tower victim Tony Disson bid their final farewell to the footie-mad granddad at his funeral today.
Tony Disson, 65, lived on the 10th floor of the West London tower block which was engulfed by a raging inferno in the early hours of June 14.
A beautiful horse-drawn carriage was seen leading the procession through the streets of Ladbroke Grove to Our Lady of the Holy Souls Roman Catholic Church this morning.
Mr Disson's tearful family and friends flocked to the church to pay their respects, with a touching floral tribute saying: "RIP uncle Tony. You will forever live on within our hearts and memory."
The granddad is the latest victim to be formally identified as the death toll reaches 80, with police warning the total number killed may not be known for months.
His relatives said he was "the heart and soul" of the family.
In a statement they said: "Losing him has left a void that can never be filled. Tony was the most generous person you could ever meet, he didn't have much but would always be there to help people.
"He had a great sense of humour, especially in the face of the practical jokes the boys would play on him.
"Tony was a real family man. His boys were his life. He was a loving husband, and a one in a million Dad."
The Fulham fan has four sons, five grandchildren - with a sixth due in September - and three great-grandchildren.
His son Alfie added: "Dad would take me, Harry and Charlie boxing from an early age, he would travel all over the country with us, and would be so proud of us whether we came home with a trophy or not.
"He was the best Dad a son could ever have, I couldn't have been prouder to call him my Dad. We love and miss him so much.
"He had a good life so to lose him in such a tragic way has made the loss hard to bear. We as a family are simply heartbroken."

Police say the vast majority of those who died in the tower block tragedy were in 23 flats spread between the 11th and 23rd floors.
This week Westminster coroner Dr Fiona Wilcox opened and adjourned the inquests of four people including one of the blaze's youngest victims Isaac Paulous.
The five-year-old died after choking on fumes from the fire, it was heard.
Det Supt Fiona McCormack said:”What I can say is that we believe that around 80 people are either dead or sadly missing and I must presume that they are dead.
“I don’t want there to be any hidden victims. We want to understand the true human cost of this tragedy.
“There are 23 flats that despite huge investigative efforts, we have been unable to trace anyone that lives there.
“At this stage, we must presume, that no-one in those flats survived, that includes anyone who lived there or was visiting them.”
In the weeks since the tragedy investigations have been launched testing cladding - blamed for the fire's rapid spread - on tower blocks across the country.
It was this week revealed that all samples tested have failed safety checks.
