Hundreds in Blackburn say goodbye to baby Poppy-Mai

Hundreds of people in Blackburn have said goodbye to baby Poppy-Mai who captured the hearts of the town with her battle against cancer.

The one-year old was given just two days to live in March and bravely fought on for months before passing away with her family last week.

Hundreds of people turned out for her funeral to celebrate her life, wearing red, yellow and pink as requested by her family.

They all greeted Poppy-Mai, who arrived by horse-drawn carriage, holding a single flower each and were led into the church by a lone bagpiper.

WATCH: Hundreds of balloons were released in the air as Poppy-Mai was taken into the church:
