<p>Around 700 mourners have paid their respects to a teenager who died after being stabbed as he walked home from an evening out watching football.</p>
<p>The funeral of Reamonn Gormley, 19, was held in St Joseph&#8217;s RC Church in Blantyre, South Lanarkshire.</p>
<p>Around 700 people packed into the church for the service while dozens more lined the streets outside to listen as it was broadcast through speakers.</p>
<p>Mr Gormley was attacked in the town on February 1 and died in hospital.</p>
<p>Two men have been charged with his murder.</p>
<p>The requiem mass for family and friends was led by Father Brian Lamb and attended by Mr Gormley&#8217;s parents Jim and Ann and brother Kieron.</p>
<p>Rev Joseph Devine, the Bishop of Motherwell, was also present and led part of the service.</p>
<p>Mr Gormley&#8217;s father and brother were among six coffin-bearers as his coffin was piped into the church. Dozens of floral tributes to the student were placed outside.</p>
<p>Many pupils and teachers from Mr Gormley&#8217;s former high school, John Ogilvie High School, in nearby Hamilton also attended and messages of sympathy were sent from as far as Thailand and the United States.</p>
<p>The service was followed by a private burial at Priestfield Cemetery in Hamilton.</p>
