Last updated 26th May 2022
People dressed in band T-shirts are expected to line the streets of Plymouth's Leigham area later, to pay their final respects to Bobbi-Anne McLeod.
Bobbi-Anne's family have made a request ahead of this lunchtime's funeral at the city's St. Andrews Church.
They are asking people to be respectful but also wear the type of band T-shirts that she loved wearing.
The 18 year old's death shocked the city, after she was attacked while waiting alone at a bus stop in November.
Last week, serial killer-obsessed Cody Ackland, 24, was jailed for life to serve a minimum of 31 years behind bars.
A judge described the murder of Bobbi-Anne as "chilling" and told Ackland he may die in jail.
A post online shared the request from Bobbi-Anne's family. It states: "Hi everyone, just to let everyone know Bobbi-Anne McLeod's funeral has now been arranged.
