A poignant message about hope was shared at Elle Edwards' funeral on behalf of her grandad.
Family, friends and mourners arrived at St Nicholas Church in Wallasey on Wednesday to remember the life of 26-year-old Elle. The popular beautician was shot dead when a gunman opened fire at the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey Village, shortly before midnight on Christmas Eve.
Elle's funeral at St Nicholas Church will be followed by a private service at Landican Cemetery and Crematorium. In his homily during the funeral service, Reverend Jeff Staples said he had two "very important needs" to share - the need for peace and the need for hope.
