Hundreds have gathered to pay their respects to a beloved beautician who was shot at a pub on Christmas Eve.
Elle Edwards, 26, was celebrating with friends when a gunman opened fire at the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey Village, Wirral, shortly before midnight.
She is not believed to have been the intended target of the attack, which also wounded four men.
Today, her funeral was held at St Nicholas Church in Wallasey.
Locals lined the streets in the rain as mourners arrived for the service at 12.30pm. The funeral cortege was led by a hearse with a floral tribute saying "Elle".

Elle's coffin was brought in a carriage pulled by four white horses. It was carried into the church, with a floral display on top, by pallbearers including her heartbroken dad Tim.
A message from her grandfather George was delivered to mourners, encouraging them to leave the church "with hope in our hearts".
Mourners were asked for donations to the Elle Edwards Foundation in her memory. Her dad said last week that he hoped a foundation in her memory would combat gun violence in the region.
Mr Edwards told Sky News: "She was beautiful looking and she was a great hugger. She was just a fantastic human being with a heart of gold."
Connor Chapman, 22, has been charged with murdering Ms Edwards and is due to go on trial on June 7.
