Tearful children dressed in pink filled the streets of Liverpool today as they held the hands of their parents to attend the funeral of Olivia Pratt-Korbel. Mourners attending the memorial service were asked to wear 'a splash of pink' to commemorate the tragic loss of the nine-year-old who was tragically shot dead in her family home in Liverpool last month.
Olivia was killed when convicted criminal, Joseph Nee broke into her home while being chased by the unnamed gunman who took Olivia's life on the night of August 22 in Dovecot, Liverpool. The funeral commenced with heartbroken Mum, Cheryl, 46 reading a eulogy to her daughter, followed by Olivia's big sister, the Daily Mirror reports.
The service was held at St Margaret Mary's Catholic church today, located just a short distance from the primary school Olivia attended. In tears, Olivia’s mum Cheryl clutched a pink teddy bear as the crowds entered the church.
