He died alone without his family. Britain's youngest coronavirus victim was laid to rest today by pallbearers wearing protective suits, masks and gloves with his mother and six siblings only able to watch the funeral online because they must stay in self-isolation at home. 13-year-old Ismail Mohamed Abdulwahab, from Brixton, south London, died alone at King's College Hospital.
Mourners at the funeral stood, heads bowed while sticking to the social distancing rules being imposed to stop the spread of the virus that killed young Ismail.
