Hawaiian shirts and Liverpool jerseys were on show as more than 100 people attended the funeral of a much-loved Somerset postman.
Garth Linham, was found dead at home in Somerton on the morning of July 17. He had died unexpectedly in his sleep.
Mr Linham, 57, had been a postman for almost 30 years, and his coffin was carried into Yeovil Crematorium by Royal Mail colleagues on Monday afternoon (August 1).
He was described as "a joker" and "the big kid who never grew up", and the service was filled with comedy and colour, with lots of red symbolising his team, Liverpool Football Club.
His daughter Danni Haskins said Mr Linham was: "an amazing, fun dad and my best friend".
"It was impossible to be sad when he was around. He was one of a kind, a man loved by everyone who had the pleasure of meeting him."
The service began with Candy Man by Christina Aguilera, a favourite of Mr Linham's and was followed by tributes from co-workers.
Rob Cornelius said: "He was an amazing man, there wasn't a day at work where he didn't make me laugh."
Rich Russell described him as: "the life and soul of the workplace" with a "great soul and a kind heart".
Robert Raybould said: "Every day Garth's presence was an entertainment, you could always depend on him to brighten the dullest of days."
Don't Cry Daddy by Elvis Presley, and Life is a Minestrone by 10 CC were also played during the service.
Guests were invited to Somerton Sports Club for light refreshments after the funeral, and donations were collected for the British Heart Foundation.
Following Mr Linham's death, tributes poured in from family, friends, colleagues and people on his postal round.
They included memories from people who knew Mr Linham though his involvement with Somerton Football Club and darts leagues around the town.
