A bomb disposal specialist killed in Ukraine last month has been remembered at a memorial service in his hometown where mourners said his death had left a "massive void".
Chris Garrett, from Peel on the Isle of Man, was killed in an incident near Izyum in the east of the country on 6 May.
His remains were repatriated on 23 May in a ceremony which included a guard of honour at the airport followed by a cavalcade back to Peel led by the Moddey Dhoo Motorcycle Club.
The service, at the Isle of Man Cathedral in Peel heard how, as well as holding a place in the hearts of his family and friends, he meant a great deal to the people of Ukraine.
Mr Garrett's partner Courtney Pollock said: "To many that did not get the chance to meet him face to face, he was a saviour, protector and defender of life and freedom.
"We are all feeling an emptiness without Chris here in our world. His presence was bold and strong and not something to be easily replaced in our hearts."
