Sonny Hall vows to support niece River during tribute to brother Jake

Jake Hall's brother, Sonny Hall, vowed to be present for his niece, River as she grows up while attending the former Towie star's funeral. 

The service was marked by sadness and quiet reflection and was attended by Jake's ex girlfriends, TV personality Chloe Lewis and Swedish model Misse Beqiri.

Misse shares an eight-year-old daughter, River, with the late reality TV personality, who rose to fame on The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) in 2015 and appeared in the show's 14th to 18 series.

Hall was reportedly found dead at the age of 35 at a holiday villa in Mallorca, with Spanish authorities investigating claims he may have suffered a fatal head injury after crashing into a glass door.

Among those who paid tribute during the emotional ceremony, Sonny struggled to hold back tears as a pre-recorded message about their lives together was played.

He promised to help care for Jake's daughter River and said that his brother had achieved more in 35 years than most people do in several lifetimes.

Sonny tearfully concluded saying: 'I love you so much - I miss you so much.'

Jake's devastated parents Greg and Jacque were joined by his former girlfriends - childhood sweetheart Chloe Lewis and the mother of his beloved eight-year-old daughter River, Misse Beqiri - as hundreds of mourners crammed inside St Mary the Virgin, in Wanstead, London, for the 90 minute service.

Co-stars of the hit reality TV series, boxer Derek Chisora and members of David Beckham's family including his mother Sandra and sister Joanne were also among the packed congregation.
