THE FUNERAL will be held today of the man who was found dead in a city stream.

Newlywed dad, Matthew Britt, was found dead by friends in Arnheim Road, Lordswood on Tuesday, November 16.

It’s believed the 36-year-old from Eastleigh had earlier discharged himself from hospital, having been treated for facial injuries.

His widow Sharon described him as ‘the greatest guy ever’ and kids Reece and Harry wrote: “To Daddy, Our star in Heaven, “We will love you forever.”

Keen fisherman Mr Britt’s funeral will be held at All Saints church, Eastleigh this morning.
