A procession, organised by Xtinction Rebellion (XR), started at the Town Hall and went along the high street where people dropped to the ground in a ‘die-in’.
The funeral follows North Somerset Council’s declaration of a climate emergency and looking for ways to go carbon neutral by 2030.
A XR spokeman said: “Weston came out in force to demonstrate on Saturday and this reflects the numbers of people who are quite obviously alarmed by the climate and ecological crisis the planet is facing.
“Without rapid reductions in our carbon emissions to net zero, catastrophic climate change and mass extinction level events will inevitably occur.

“This is going to effect everyone on the planet, including the people, flora and fauna of North Somerset.
“We must not let this happen.”
