PALM CITY — A horse and buggy carried the body of 24-year-old Marine Lance Cpl. Justin Wilson to his funeral this morning as hundreds of family members, friends and other supporters gathered to pay their final respects.

Wilson, of Palm City, died March 22 when a roadside bomb exploded during one of his foot patrols in the Helmand region of Afghanistan.

Wilson's body arrived back in the Treasure Coast on Sunday, and this morning's funeral came after a two-day wake in his honor.
