He was a bright, fun-loving and compassionate man.

Thousands of police and other emergency responders, family and friends, are paying their respects at a full regimental funeral for RCMP Constable Adrian Oliver.

His partner, Sheila, stood at the platform with Adrian's twin brother, Ben, also a Mountie.

Her words were heartwrenching.

"Adrian the love we share is enough to fill me for a life-time. I will think about you every second of every day. I love you."

Ben misses his brother deeply, saying "I miss your ridiculously beautiful smile. I miss your spontaneous laughter and I miss your brotherly advice."

The 28-year-old was killed a week ago while on duty, when his cruiser collided with a semi-truck.
