A pet peacock killed in a hit-and-run has been laid to rest with FORTY mourners turning up for his funeral.

The colourful bird, called Henry Percy, was 16-years-old.

He was popular in a parish where he lived and had been adopted by locals as their mascot.

Henry was struck by a car which didn’t stop.
