Plan B Forum

A grieving family were left horrified when a pornographic video was accidentally played during a service for a father and his baby son.

Hundreds of people were gathered at Thornhill Crematorium in Cardiff to pay their respects to Simon Lewis, 33, and his baby boy, Simon Lewis Jnr, who were killed in a car crash.

Mr Lewis Snr died in the crash on Cardiff's Lamby Way on New Year's Eve. His pregnant wife and their three-year-old daughter were also in the car at the time.

Three days later, following concern about the couple's unborn baby being in distress as a result of the collision, Simon Jnr was born by emergency Caesarean Section at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff. He died in hospital later the same day.

Mourners attending their funeral yesterday were left disgusted by the graphic footage that was played in front of the family and packed congregation on a big screen.

It took nearly four minutes to switch off the 'hard-core' video with the 'very loud noise' reverberating round the crematorium.

Following the blunder, Cardiff council, which runs the crematorium, has launched an urgent investigation.

One funeral-goer, who wished to remain anonymous, told Wales Online: 'It was absolutely disgusting. The priest turned around to play the video of Simon, but instead a hard-core pornography video was played on the big screen.

'Everyone was in shock, Simon's father-in-law was furious, he shouted at the staff present and told them to turn it off.

'It took them nearly four minutes to turn it off, people couldn't believe what they were seeing.

'To the priest's credit he handled it extremely well. He apologised on behalf of Cardiff Council and said that in 30 years of doing the job, he had never seen such filth.'
