As the funeral cortege passed through the village, making its way towards St Tudfil's Church, motorists pulled their cars over to the side of the road and switched off their engines.

The church was packed, showing how intensely the whole community had felt the deep loss caused by Emily's death.

Many floral tributes were made to the popular little girl, including one which read: "Sweet little Emily, so precious and dearly loved.

"We will always remember your lovely little smile.

"Thank you for all the love and happiness you brought to us. You are a very special little girl."

Another read: "Our little star. Keep on twinkling. Night, night, God bless Sweetheart"; and another: "Farewell little Princess, we will never forget.

"You will never be forgotten, you are in our hearts. Sweet dreams little angel."

On the order of service sheet, Emily's parents, Rob and Louise, and family expressed thanks to all relatives, friends and neighbours for their messages of sympathy and donations received in memory of Emily for Ronald McDonald House at Alder Hey Children's Hospital, Liverpool.

Emily died on Christmas Day from the injuries she received after her father accidentally dropped a television set on her as he walked downstairs at the family home on Christmas Eve.

An inquest has been held and recorded a verdict of accidental death. Coroner Andrew Rebello said: "It is every parent's worst nightmare for their child's funeral to take place before their own.

"I hope the family can recover from this tragedy and celebrate the joy of Emily's life."

Emily had attended at Penygelli School and also went to the Salvation Army Sunday School in Coedpoeth.
