Olivia Pratt-Korbel's coffin taken on final journey as Amazing Grace is sung

Olivia Pratt-Korbel was taken to her final resting place in a horse-drawn carriage following the nine-year-old's funeral.

Amazing Grace was sung as Olivia's funeral came to a close at St Margaret Mary's Catholic Church in Knotty Ash on Thursday. Olivia's friends and family, including her mum Cheryl Korbel, gathered outside of the church to watch the moment her coffin was put into the back of a horse drawn carriage.

In an emotional video after the service, Cheryl could be seen wiping away the tears as she clutched a pink teddy bear to her chest. Hundreds of people lined the streets to watch as the carriage left the church to a round of applause from the crowds.
