Vishwashkumar Ramesh's brother Ajay was also on the ill-fated flight but did not survive the tragedy.

A visibly upset Ramesh was one of the pall bearers who carried his brother's coffin to the crematorium in the town of Diu, his arm and face still covered in white bandages. He's spent most of the past five days in hospital.

The London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed seconds after taking off on Thursday from the western Indian city of Ahmedabad. At least 270 people were killed, most of them passengers.

Mr Ramesh's mother walked with the coffin in a blue sari along with other mourners, as he held it on his right shoulder.
