People across Ashford lined the streets to wave goodbye to a five-month-old baby girl who died suddenly at home.

Ember Ellis took her final journey in a horse-drawn carriage while friends, family and strangers gathered to pay their respects as she passed.

The funeral was held at St Mary's Church in Kennington before Ember was laid to rest in Bybrook Cemetery yesterday.

Her parents Louiza Arnold and Ben Ellis got to hold their precious little girl one last time as they walked her into the church to the sound of 'Where You Are' from Moana.

There were vibrant colours, elephant decorations and Disney songs to give the little girl a fitting send off.

Miss Arnold described the day as "traumatising but beautiful" and thanked everyone who showed up for her beautiful baby.

She added: "I asked everyone in Ashford to wave if they saw us go past and they did and I thought that was very sweet, it's exactly how we wanted it.

"The whole of Ashford were really respectful.

"She is a baby girl, she doesn't need everyone to bow their heads.

"We tried to make it positive, because we didn't want added sadness.

"The burial was beautiful, we said some words and we all laid some sunflowers.

"Thank you so much to everybody who smiled and waved, it gives me goosebumps thinking about it."

Ember had three big brothers, Mikey, 10, Danny, eight, and Rorey, four, and a big sister called Amy, 18 months, and was very advanced for her age.

The little girl had always been healthy but died last month after she was put down for a nap and didn't wake up.

Miss Arnold told of her heartache as she rushed to get home after hearing her daughter was unresponsive over FaceTime.

During the ceremony, Mikey played his guitar while Miss Arnold's cousin sang 'Never Enough' from the Greatest Showman as the final song.

The family has also created a little garden for Ember at their home in Bridgefield, and hope to one day get a bench placed in Bridgefield Park so they have a place to go to remember the times she played there.
