Funeral for drowning victim
More than 100 family and friends attended a funeral service at St John the Baptist Catholic Church in Woy Woy to farewell the 26-year-old man who drowned at Shelly Beach on January 17.
Mr Marcelo Munoz-Montenegro of Bosley Park and his friend Charlie Daza Parada drowned after going for an early-morning swim in dangerous surf.
Mr Daza Parada's body was washed up on the beach a short time after the two men went missing.
However, Mr Munoz-Montenegro's body was not recovered from the water until three days later.
The funeral took place on January 26.
