Joshua James Flynn, 37, along with his son Coby-Jay, 15, and 12-year-old daughter Skylar, tragically died along with their beloved Yorkshire terrier, Troy, after they were hit by a car while walking along Abbey Road, Dalton at around 2-30pm on Sunday, 21st June.
Both Coby-Jay and Skylar were pupils at Furness Academy.
School children lined Park Drive, outside of the school, and erupted in applause as the funeral procession of the Flynn family paused on the road.
