The teenager was remembered for his loving and peaceful nature.
Emotions rose as many people were barred from entering the church due to COVID-19 security protocols.
The murder of the 16-year-old has sparked public outrage and once again brought police brutality to the limelight.
Since then, three police officers have been arrested in connection with Julies’ murder and the case resumes in court next week.
