THERE were tears and laughter at the funeral of little Ebonie Webb as more than 200 people donned pink to celebrate her life.

The service was held at Emmanuel Methodist Church last Friday - her white coffin arrived at the church in a white horse-drawn carriage and and was adorned with her favourite things - stickers - which her friends from Joseph Locke Primary had written messages on.

After the service, Ebonie's favourite sweets, Parma Violets, were handed out.

The money raised for Ebonie's treatment, and donations from the service, will be used to set up 'Chasing Rainbows for Ebonie Webb', a charity to help support the families and siblings of poorly children.
