Mayor of Liverpool Joanne Anderson has led tributes to Olivia Pratt-Korbel on the day of the nine-year-old's funeral.
A funeral service will take place at St Margaret Mary's Catholic Church in Knotty Ash today, next door to Olivia's school, St Margaret Mary's Catholic Junior School. The service is due to begin at 11am and will be followed by a private burial and wake. Mourners have been asked to wear a splash of pink in her memory.
The nine-year-old was killed when a gunman chasing convicted criminal Joseph Nee burst into her home on Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot, and opened fire at around 10pm on Monday, August 22. Since then, there have been nine arrests but no-one has yet been charged with her murder.
