Olivia Pratt-Korbel's mum paid an emotional tribute to her 'bubbly' 9-year-old daughter as mourners gathered for her funeral this morning.
Olivia was shot at her home in Dovecot, Liverpool, on August 22. Family and friends wore a 'splash of pink' at the family's request as they gathered to remember the schoolgirl at St Margaret Mary’s Church in Knotty Ash on Thursday, September 15.
Tearful mourners, some with pink ribbons pinned to their outfits, lined the street as the little girl's white coffin, decorated with butterflies on the side, arrived in a horse-drawn carriage.
The coffin was topped with lilies and teddy bears were placed alongside it in the white carriage. A hearse with floral tributes saying “daughter” and “Liv” arrived at the church shortly before the carriage.
