The details have been announced on the day that services were held for four people who were killed in the Manchester Arena attack.

Ariana Grande superfan Georgina Callander was laid to rest in Tarleton, Lancashire, at a yellow-themed funeral service with a Disney horse and carriage.

Mourners wore yellow and lemon coloured items of clothing to honour the 18-year-old who was killed in the Manchester Arena bomb.

Georgina's coffin also matched the yellow theme, and was beautifully adorned with a selection of family photographs.

A joint funeral service was held for young couple Liam Curry, 19, and Chloe Rutherford, 17, in South Tyneside.

Police officers closed the roads nearby as the two matching white coffins adorned in pink and white flowers were carried into St Hilda's Church, South Shields.

Ed Sheeran’s song Perfect - about a young couple in love - was played as pall bearers from Liam’s cricket club, Marsden Cricket Club, slowly walked inside.

The two coffins were carried out following the service as a recording of Chloe singing Somewhere Only We Know by Keane was played.

The funeral service for John Atkinson took place at St Thomas & St John’s Church in Radcliffe .

In a touching tribute to the popular young man, the coffin was covered in photographs of him with his friends and family.

The large funeral procession was led by a white horse-drawn carriage bearing John’s coffin and flowers.

Many mourners were dressed in colourful clothes for the occasion with some wearing T-shirts printed with John’s name, a Manchester bee and the number 22.

The service, attended by hundreds of people, started with the song ‘Run’ by Leona Lewis being played as the coffin entered the church.

Tributes were read out from John’s family as well as prayers and more contemporary music including ‘I Look to You’ by Whitney Houston and ‘You Raise Me Up’ by Westlife.
