HUNDREDS of people from the Kurdish community turned out to pay their respects to Kosta Erik Scurfield.
Kosta, 25, died in Syria whilst fighting against Islamic State - the first British national to lose his life.
His funeral was held today (March 26) at a Greek Orthadox church in Nottingham where it is believed he has extended family.
His coffin was draped with a Kurdish flag and mourners clutched posters bearing his face and the word 'hero'.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.

Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
