The funeral of an eight-year-old Co Armagh schoolboy who tragically passed away over the weekend will take place on Wednesday.
Callum Morrow was one of four people involved in a road traffic collision on the Aughnacloy Road, at Banbridge, at around 5.20pm on Saturday.
Callum’s brother and dad suffered serious injuries, while a woman from another vehicle, is also in serious condition in hospital.
His funeral cortege will leave from his grandparents’ home on Castor Bay Road in Lurgan on Wednesday at 9.45am to St. Peter’s Church for 10.30am Requiem Mass.

Callum was the dearly loved son of Mandy and Stephen and loving big brother of James, adored grandson of May and John Morrow and the late Marie and Joseph Brennan.
