Hundreds of people are expected to attend a funeral service later today to pay their respects to six-year-old Isabelle Faye Grundy who sadly passed away last Monday afternoon following a year-long battle with cancer.

Although a sombre event, the family, who have provided a horse drawn carriage, have asked people to wear an item of pink and/or white in memory and celebration of their little girl and her favourite colours.

The church service will be held from 10am at St Teresa's in Blackpool after which a burial service will take place at Carleton Crematorium at 11.30am.

Her parents Louisa Moss, 34, and Blaine Grundy, 36, started a campaign for treatment only readily available in the USA and, upon hearing their plight, thousands of people united to raise more then £200,000.

A heartbroken Louisa told the Post: "She was so loving and even through the pain she carried on smiling.

"She was very sassy and wanted to know that we were okay.

"It was the longest week which dragged on forever.
