The funeral for City Councilor Andrew Faber was held today at the St. John's Anglican Cathedral in Belize City - and it was more than a funeral, it was an event.
IT started at noon, when fellow councilors, city staff, friends and family led a procession through the streets from the morgue to the Church.
The funeral service started at noon, where the church was filled to capacity - with overflow in the garden.
Countless ministers of government - including the Prime Minister, and what would be called the UDP family joined friends and dignitaries as they crowded into the church hall and the grounds to be a part of the funeral for the well-liked 29 year old councilor.
His eulogy was read by Kevin Harris and the pall-bearers included his brother, Minister of Education, Patrick Faber, Herbert Panton and Raindrops Swan.
After the body was taken out of the church, the procession proceeded down Albert Street against the flow of traffic - with Faber and other councilors taking the lead behind the hearse. Onlookers lined up throughout the route to see the procession.
Faber was killed along with two passengers, Virginia Azueta and Gianni Taylor in an accident on the Placencia Road on Tuesday afternoon. He lost control of the L200 he was driving and the vehicle flipped, landing in a flooded ditch on the side of the road.
