Tributes paid to former Labour Deputy PM Lord Prescott at his funeral in Hull

The funeral of former deputy prime minister John Prescott has taken place in Hull, the city he represented in parliament for 40 years.

Sir Keir Starmer, Sir Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were amongst those paying tribute to "man of the people" Lord Prescott, who died in November last year after suffering with Alzheimer’s.

The funeral procession featured two Jags, a reference to one of his more memorable nick names and use of two Jaguar cars while in office.
