Nathan Turner, 66, had been out hiking with his sons on the Carn Mor Dearg Arete in Scotland when the tragedy happened last month.

The Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team sent 10 members after being called out but the cloud conditions improved enough to allow a coastguard helicopter to retrieve his body and his fellow walkers.

Tributes flooded in for the dentist, who was a former pupil at Regis School, Tettenhall and worked at Clent Dental Care, in Hagley.

It is believed that he previously worked as a dentist in Bilston.

His funeral was held at St Leonard’s Church, in Clent, on Tuesday.
