Huge crowds laid to rest Rayan Awram, a five-year-old Moroccan boy who spent four days trapped down a well and sparked a rescue operation that gripped the world but ended in tragedy.

Hundreds stood to mourn in a cemetery in the remote forested hills of the northern Chefchaouen region on Monday, a few kilometres (miles) from the site of the accident, as an imam read funeral prayers.
