Queens Park Rangers Football Club will be holding a Service of Remembrance to celebrate the life and times of Ray Jones on Thursday morning (September 6th).

To respect the wishes of the Jones family, details of the funeral service will be kept private and confidential.

A spokesperson for the family said: "Whilst the family would dearly love to accommodate everyone who wishes to pay their respects to Ray, it simply isn't possible.

"The family are however eternally grateful for the reception they received on Saturday, the many tributes and the loving support showed by all concerned since last weekend."

However, supporters wishing to pay their respects to the late teenager can do so by attending the service at St Stephen & St Thomas Church, 1 Coverdale Road (corner of Uxbridge Road), Shepherds Bush, W12 8JJ.

The service, which begins at 10.00am, will be attended by Club staff and players, but no members from the Jones family will be present.

Light refreshments and teas and coffees will be available at Loftus Road from 11.30am and anyone who attends the service is welcome to join us.

Supporters who wish to send flowers to the funeral service can do so by sending them care of T Cribb & Sons Funeral Directors, Thomas Cribb Mews, 10 Woolwich Manor Way, Beckton, E6 4PA, to arrive by 8.00am on Thursday morning.

*Loftus Road Stadium will be closed between 9.30am and 11.30am to allow staff to attend the memorial service. The Club Shop will remain open as usual.
