Dr Alex George posted a heartbreaking tribute to his brother Llyr on Monday, before he was laid to rest.
The Love Island star announced the death of his younger brother last month, following a battle with his mental health.
Before Llyr’s funeral took place on Monday, Alex shared on Instagram: “Life throws us in at the deep end sometimes, however, with family and friends we overcome the most seemingly insurmountable challenges.”
“Today is for you Llyr,” he added.
On Sunday night, Alex had shared on his Instagram Story: “Tomorrow will be the hardest day of my life. We will get through for Llŷr and the rest of the family.”
Alex announced Llyr’s death on July 24th by sharing a photo of him and his younger brother on Instagram.
He captioned the photo: “I can’t believe I am actually writing this post. I have lost my beautiful little brother to mental health.”
“I love you so much Llŷr. The kindest and most caring soul. I was so proud of you starting medical school next month, you would have been the most incredible doctor.”
“We are hurting so bad. No words can explain,” he continued. “As a family we are devastated. We love you and miss you so much. Please rest in peace x Our boy.”
Alex has had an extremely tough year, as he’s been working on the frontline in an A&E department in London during the coronavirus pandemic.
The 30-year-old also recently split from his girlfriend Amelia Bath.
