A woman threw a Viking funeral for her perfectly healthy mother - complete with a remembrance service, readings, and prayers.
Anne-Marie Vognsen, 56, was devastated when one of her close friends recently died. She was forced to confront the "fragility of life" and her thoughts naturally drifted to her family.
She started to realise her mother, 85-year-old Mille Millard, might not be around forever, and Anne-Marie wanted to make sure her mum knew how much she was loved.
