She knew she wouldn't wake once she was in an induced coma - so she planned her own funeral

A 'fun-loving' young woman who planned her own funeral knowing she may not awake from an induced coma received the send-off she bravely asked for as mourners gathered to say goodbye.

Bethannie Booth sadly died at just 24 years old just weeks after developing cold and flu symptoms. The popular primary school worker sent out texts to friends and family with instructions for her funeral - including brightly coloured bucket hats - after she began to suspect she wasn't going to make it.

The 24-year-old was put in an induced coma, having developed sepsis after contracting Strep A, and sadly died surrounded by her family on March 31. On Friday afternoon hundreds dressed in vibrant clothes attended Bethannie's ceremony at Llwydcoed Crematorium, reports WalesOnline.
