A grieving family and packed funeral congregation were left horrified when a pornographic video was accidentally played during the service.
Hundreds of people gathered at Thornhill Crematorium in Cardiff to pay their respects to Simon Lewis, 33, and his baby boy, Simon Lewis Jnr, who were killed in a head-on collision.
Mr Lewis died in the crash on New Year's Eve on Lamby Way in Cardiff. His pregnant wife and their three-year-old daughter were also in the car at the time.
Three days later, following concern about the couple’s unborn baby being in distress as a result of the collision, Simon Jnr was born by emergency Caesarean Section at the University Hospital of Wales , Cardiff. He died in hospital later the same day.
Mourners at Wednesday's funeral described their shock after a crematorium blunder saw pornographic footage played by accident, instead of a tribute made in remembrance of Mr Lewis.
