Known for her #Bemoremandy fundraising campaign, the Piece Hall patron from Golcar touched hearts before she passed away on December 1 after a long battle with the illness.

Her funeral took place today at Huddersfield Crematorium, with her coffin arriving bearing a floral tribute spelling 'angel'.

More than 100 family and friends attended wearing white ribbons, and members of the public were also invited.

After making her final journey in a coffin decorated with ostrich feathers, diamante, sequins and pearls, mourners were played a pre-recorded speech prepared before her death.

Mandy also arranged for her cremated ashes to be put into a giant firework and fired heavenwards at a second ceremony in her hometown of Huddersfield.

Earlier this month the Yorkshire Post exclusively published Mandy's final interview with the posthumous blessing of her husband Andrew.
