LOVE Island’s Dr Alex George has thanked everyone who came to his brother Llyr’s funeral.
He said the turnout would have meant “so much” to Llyr, who sadly passed away last month.
Sharing a photo of him with Llyr, Alex followed it up with a heartfelt post, which read: “Thank you to everyone who came to the funeral yesterday.
It would have meant so much to Llyr seeing so many of you, sharing your love for him. We will never forget”.
He then shared the same image to his Instagram feed and explained the funeral was the ‘hardest day of his life’.
“Yesterday I said goodbye to my little brother Llŷr. It was the hardest day of my life. Except it wasn’t goodbye,” he captioned the picture.
Alex added: “Llŷr, your dream was to become a doctor, you will live that dream. Every patient I see, we will do it together, you and I .”
The 29-year-old then went on to say Llyr’s favourite passion was cars and said every time he’ll be out driving, he’ll feel Llyr’s presence with him.
“I know you will be there laughing and smiling with me. I love you so much Llŷr, you are always with me, my boy,” he wrote.
Alex’s Love Island pals sent their thoughts and condolences to the doctor. Hayley Hughes said: “Thinking of you and your family Alex.”
Rosie Lewis commented: “My heart breaks for you Alex! All my love and thoughts are with you.”
On July 16, heartbroken Alex revealed he had lost his little brother, who was 10 years younger, to mental health.
