Eddie Lyons and Ross Monaghan’s funeral sparks ‘guard of honour’ for gangland duo after drive-by hit

Scottish gangsters Eddie Lyons Junior and Ross Monaghan were gunned down in a nighttime assassination in Andalucia, Spain, and a man has been accused of their murder

Gangland figures and their families have gathered for the funeral of slain Scottish thugs Eddie Lyons Junior and Ross Monaghan following their deaths in a nighttime drive-by assassination.

The 46 and 43-year-old, who had links to Glasgow’s criminal underworld, both died when a masked gunman opened fire at Monaghans Bar in Fuengirola, Andalucia, in late May. Local media reported at the time that their mystery assailant had pulled up outside the crowded bar at 11pm before shooting the pair and speeding away in the same vehicle. Their bodies were repatriated to the UK in June, and laid to rest in Glasgow’s Bishopbriggs Crematorium this afternoon.

The Daily Record reports that the service began at 3pm today as Lyons Jnr and Monaghan’s bodies arrived in coffins being carried by silver funeral cars, where they were greeted with a huge crowd.

Figures amongst the throng were spotted queuing to gain entry to the building dressed in black and glittering designer gear, with women seen crying and men standing together to form a “guard of honour” at the crematorium entrance. They had arrived in more than 100 cars, all of which were parked on the premises.

The vast majority were large, dark SUVs with blacked out windows, while a selection of other vehicles could be seen parked on the road outside the crematorium.

Mourners were guarded by two private security guards clad in yellow jackets, who moved around the perimeter of the car park as the service began. Lyuons Jnr and Monaghan were members of the Lyons crime clan, who have been involved in a long-running feud with the Daniel family, a rival clan with whom they have been warring for almost 25 years.

Spanish investigators believe the shootings of the two men, which were carried out in front of horrified tourists having a post Champion’s League tipple at the Spanish pub earlier this year, were linked to a rivalry with the Daniel family,

The man accused of shooting, Michael Riley, 44, appeared at Wesminster Magistrates’ Court in London via videolink from HMP Wandsworth in late June after Spanish police fingered him for the killings. He is yet to be charged, however, with a full extradition hearing expected to be held this year.

Mr Riley, who was arrested by Merseyside Police under an international arrest warrant issued by the Spanish authorities, has also not been given the opportunity to respond to allegations made about him by Spanish National Police.
