British radio presenter Gavin Ford was laid to rest Sunday near Beirut in a ceremony that brought together dozens of fans, friends and family members days after his murder.

Ford's lifeless body was discovered Tuesday at his home in

Beit Meri, a mountain town east of the capital where his employer Radio One is also based.

Ford had worked since the 1990s at the station, where hosted one of Lebanon's most popular shows.

A ceremony was held Sunday at Beit Meri's Mar Sassine Church before the funeral procession proceeded to a vault where his coffin was interred, an AFP photographer said.
