Mourners gathered in sombre silence at the funeral of brave Manchester synagogue terror attack victim Adrian Daulby, as a eulogy hailed him a "strong hero." The 53 year-old and fellow worshipper Melvin Cravitz, 66, died when terrorist Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, rammed a car into, and stabbed, those gathering for a Yom Kippur service at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue last Thursday.

Mr Daulby leaped from his seat to block the doors of the Jewish holy place as crazed, knife-wielding Al-Shamie, 35, tried to get in to attack worshippers. But he was accidentally shot by Greater Manchester Police firearms officers as they brought down Al-Shamie, as he bravely helped to barricade the doors inside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue during the terror attack.

On Monday there was a visible police presence at the funeral at Agecroft Jewish Cemetery in Salford, overseen by Rabbi Daniel Walker, the leader of the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue.

Rabbi Walker, who also barricaded the synagogue door with Mr Daulby, read an emotional eulogy for Mr Daulby.

He said Mr Daulby was sitting in the synagogue in his usual seat, where his late father and grandfather had sat, "at that terrible moment when evil struck".

Rabbi Walker added: "A true righteous man. If you don’t mind, I just want to tell you what my friend Adrian did.

"Adrian sits on the back row of the shul. When evil struck, he sought to secure the building. All of you who know and love Adrian know he was a quiet man.

"In that moment of need, that quiet man became a tremendously strong hero. I watched him leap from his seat, run to the door. He braced the doors and he held the doors against our attacker.

"Adrian didn’t run away from danger. Adrian ran to help. Adrian was righteous in his passing. Adrian was righteous in his life. He was a kind soul, a gentle soul. The most important thing is that we live Adrian’s legacy.

"He was saving the lives of his community. There is none holier, there is none greater, there is none higher. A great, great martyr. May his memory always be a blessing."

One of Mr Daulby’s nieces then fought back tears to tell mourners: "Adrian will be dearly missed. He never deserved what happened to him. He died a true hero. We just want you to know how loved you were."

A second niece said: "Our tradition teaches us, to save a single life is to save the world. Adrian did just that."

Rabbi Walker said he had visited the synagogue on Sunday and it was "frozen in time", with Mr Daulby’s prayer book still open on the page at the time Al-Shamie struck.

Earlier, dozens of mourners had stood in autumn sunshine as the hearse arrived for the start of the 35-minute service, which included traditional Hebrew prayers.

Neighbours described Mr Daulby as someone who loved animals, nature and the children who lived nearby, giving local Muslim youngsters presents at Eid.

He had survived cancer, lived alone and had visited the synagogue more after the death of his father a few years ago, they said.

On Sunday Rabbi Walker also led the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation in paying respects at the funeral of the second victim Mr Cravitz.

The two funerals come as new doorbell footage obtained by the BBC shows Syrian-born Al-Shamie storming down a road minutes before got into his car - and drove it into worshippers on Yom Kippur.

Footage of a street nearby marked 09:22am shows the terrorist walking purposefully at pace away from the synagogue after a confrontation with security guards, where he was told to leave.

The doorbell camera then shows a black Kia Picanto, matching the car driven by Al-Shamie, heading back towards the synagogue at 09:26am.

Greater Manchester Police were called to the scene at 09:31am and firearms officers shot Al-Shamie dead at 9.38am.

Al-Shamie, who was on bail for an alleged rape, was shot dead by police. He was not known to counter-terror police but did have a criminal history and police say he may have been influenced by an extreme Islamist mindset.

Three people remain in hospital, while police have detained four people on suspicion of terror offences - they are two men, aged 30 and 32, and a woman, 61, all arrested in Prestwich, and a 46-year-old woman arrested in Farnworth.

On Sunday, counter terror police were granted more time to hold them in custody, while inquiries are under way to establish "the full picture" into what happened, a spokesman for Counter Terrorism Policing North West said.

Two other people, a man and a woman, were released without charge after they were arrested on the day of the attack.

The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said the attack raises deep questions about community relations in the UK.

On Monday, Greater Manchester Police thanked the local community in north Manchester for all their support following the incident and disruptive investigations and road closures.

The force said: "Greater Manchester Police would like to extend its sincere thanks and appreciation to members of the community in Crumpsall and beyond for their patience and support following Thursday’s horrific terrorist attack.

"Residents around the Middleton Road area are now being allowed to return to their homes following the attack, while officers have been working around-the-clock to investigate the incident.

"A reduced cordon remains in place while these enquiries carry on, and extra patrols and officers will remain in place to support the community during this time.

"We are still keeping up patrols around places of worship across the city-region.

"Around 4,000 visits were made over the weekend to engage with our communities with a particular focus on providing a high-visibility presence within our Jewish communities in north Manchester, Bury and Salford as well as responding to incidents across Greater Manchester as we normally would do."
