She was one of 14 pedestrians, half of them children, run down during 30 minutes of mayhem spread over three miles.

Hundreds of mourners attended her funeral at the Church of Resurrection in Ely as Ms Menzies' body was carried in a leopard print style coffin in a horse-drawn hearse.

Roads around the church were cordoned off due to the number of people attending the funeral.

Following the service, there was a private burial at the Western Cemetery.
