cortege

Ahead of Ms Prior's funeral, her colleagues lined the route along Duncombe Place as a piper and police horses led her cortege to the Minster for 11:00 GMT.

Crowds assembled at the stadium in October to pay respects as his funeral cortege went past en route to Sutton Coldfield Crematorium, where the service was held.

Ms Hardy said Elsie's love of celebrations would be reflected in the service, when the funeral cortege will be greeted with a "pink carpet".

About 300 people gathered near the church, some held balloons and others released bubbles before a round of applause broke out as the cortege arrived.

Posting on social media, the group said Mr Naylor's family had requested "all attendees walk in front of the cortege to lead Joss home, with those carrying club flags in the front".
