City mourns 'beautiful' Olivia who 'should be writing Christmas list'

People in Liverpool are standing together to mourn the death of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel as she was laid to rest.

A sea of pink gathered outside St Margaret Mary's Catholic Church in Knotty Ash for the funeral of the schoolgirl on Thursday, September 15. The beautiful service started with a eulogy read out by Olivia's mum Cheryl Korbel, 46, who said she will "never say goodbye" to her daughter.

The second reading during the hour-long service was read out by Olivia's sister Chloe, from the letter of St Paul to the Romans.
