Noah Donohoe's funeral is to take place this morning in Belfast.
The 14 year old boy's body was found on Saturday in a storm drain in the north of the city, following a week long search operation.
The service at St Patrick's Chapel on Donegall Street will be strictly private, however there is expected to be a funeral cortege from the church to his school, St Malachy's College.
