“In loving memory of Keiran Cable.”
Last weekend, 20-year-old Keiran Cable from Rhondda, Wales, thought he was going to a pub to watch the Rugby World Cup. When he got there, though, he discovered that about 50 of his friends had organised a fake funeral for him.

Cable's friends put the funeral together because they said he'd been spending so much time with his new girlfriend.

That's Cable in his coffin. Ben Sullivan, one of the funeral organisers, told BuzzFeed News that the attendees were all close friends who have known Cable for four or five years. Most play with Cable on the local football team.

There was a fake vicar and they sang a bunch of football songs as hymns, and even borrowed a hearse for the event. One of Cable's friends sang a song in memory of him to the tune of the Kaiser Chiefs' "Ruby".
