Hundreds of people have turned out to line the route of the funeral procession of Azaylia Cain.

The eight month old, who's father is former Coventry City footballer Ashley Cain, died in April after being diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia. 

Her father invited people to gather in a socially distanced way for his daughter's final journey through the town.

Orange balloons also lined the route and a number of local buildings will be lit up in orange this evening to remember her and to raise awareness of child cancers.

A campaign was started by Ashley Cain and Azaylia's mother, Safiyya Vorajee, to raise money for their daughter's treatment after her diagnosis which received thousands of donations. 

The family say there will be a private funeral.
