Men armed with machetes and shovels fight in cemetery during funeral

Dashcam footage shows a large fight involving machetes, axes, shovels and hammers that interrupted mourners at a cemetery in Wales.

Nine funeral-goers have been jailed after a shocking feud between two family factions boiled over into extreme violence at the Morriston Crematorium in Swansea.

Video released by South Wales Police shows vehicles driving through the cemetery at speeds of over 40km/h before participants in the fight run into frame wielding weapons including baseball bats and bricks.

At another point, James Coffey - who was jailed for two years and three months over the brawl - wipes his head to check for a wound as blood pours down his neck.
