However, there is standing room only at the back of the room for members of the public to attend, while the service will also be live-streamed outside for anyone who wishes to attend but cannot fit inside the room.

Mandy had helped raise funds for the refurbishment of The Piece Hall in Halifax among a number of other ventures and charities, and inspired many people because of her unrelenting positivity.

Despite being diagnosed with cancer three times in the last 10 years, she said it had introduced her to a world of new opportunities while in her 40s.
