An eyewitness says that a group of teenagers pulled the wreath, outside the funeral yesterday in Gosport, and allegedly kicked it along the street, trashing it.

Aaron Haggard, who attended the funeral, said: ‘It is a bit random – I can’t understand why anyone would do it.

‘To be honest, I wonder if it was a dare or something.

‘There are a few people I have spoken to that want to take things further and get to the bottom of it.’
