Paddy Ashdown has been remembered at a private funeral service in Somerset.

He died aged 77 in December after a short illness suffering from bladder cancer.

Ashdown’s funeral, held in his home village of Norton-sub-Hamdon, was attended by family, friends and former prime minister Sir John Major.

Hundreds of people  watched the service on TV screens from a nearby hall.

Ashdown led the Lib Dems between 1988 and 1999 before standing down from Parliament in 2001  and was the longest-serving leader of the Liberal Democrats of all time.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
