His family and friends described him as selfless and having a passion for justice.
Selfless, giving, and providing a voice for those who are voiceless - that's how the broadcaster Michael Reade is being remembered at his funeral today.
The former Midlands 103 presenter passed away following a terminal diagnosis on Monday.
His final radio show was broadcast on LMFM on the day after his death, in which he said goodbye to his listeners, and told of his abuse as a child, with a fellow survivor speaking at the service today.
Many who spoke at the service acknowledged the work he did in promoting justice and peace in his programme, along with his love of music.
Michael's son Luke thanked his father for always supporting him and being there for him no matter what:
