He was laid to rest in Jerusalem, where he had been studying for the last two-and-a-half years.
However, his parents missed the funeral as they couldn’t make it to Israel from their home in Manchester in time.
Jewish tradition urges burial as soon as possible, which is why the funeral was held in the early hours of today.
