Touching tributes to 'gorgeous' carer, 23, as hundreds say final goodbyes

As the clouds cleared and the sun shone down, hundreds said their goodbyes to a "gorgeous" carer who died, aged 23.

Horses wearing green pulled a carriage carrying Katie Davenport, a daughter, sister and girlfriend who was "loved by all those around her" before she died last month. The carer was on a night out in her hometown Southport when she fell from a fire escape at Hey Amigos shortly before 3am on Sunday, September 4, before dying in hospital 13 days later on Saturday, September 17.

Almost a month after Katie's death, her friends and family gathered at West Lancashire Cemetery and Crematorium to say their final goodbyes. Those attending wore green to remember the loved young woman and stood in the auditorium as Tenerife Sea, by Ed Sheeran, played before her family carried the white coffin in.
