Family and friends gathered to pay tribute to fugitive killer Raoul Moat at his funeral today.

Gunman Raoul Moat would have eventually surrendered to police and “passed his gun over”, one of his friends said today.

AFTER seven days on the run in the countryside of Northumberland, the man alleged to have gunned down a policeman and killed his ex-lover’s boyfriend was cornered on a riverbank in the village of Rothbury at about 7.30pm.
