Friends and family have gathered for the funeral of a teenager thought to have shot dead his ex-girlfriend before turning the gun on himself.
Mourners attended St James' Church in Lower Broughton, Salford, to remember 18-year-old Joshua Thompson.
His coffin arrived in a glass, horse drawn carriage surrounded by floral tributes to "Posh Josh", his nickname.
Relatives of his ex-girlfriend Kally Gilligan, 15, are not thought to have attended the service on Friday.
Kally was found dead at a house in Orion Place, in Lower Broughton on Saturday 10 June.
"I hope they are both left to rest in peace"
Joshua was also found with gunshot wounds and was taken to hospital but died later.
A post-mortem examination revealed they both died from a single gunshot wound to the neck.
Greater Manchester Police recovered a shotgun from the scene, but have not yet managed to establish where it was bought.
The teenager had passed his exams at college and was hoping to study for a diploma in sports science.
Monday funeral
His family said he loved Manchester United and wanted to become a PE teacher.
He was said to have been devastated when his relationship with Kally ended.
After the service, led by the Reverend Henry Martin, the family attended a private burial in Blackley.
Kally's funeral will take place at St Paul's Church in Salford on Monday.
Joshua's mother, Doreen Irvine, said: "I hope they are both left to rest in peace."
