“We have been incredibly moved by the support we have received far and wide and all the beautiful gesture of kindness will live in hearts forever.
“We have been in correspondence with Warwickshire Police, to understand how we can give people who would like to pay their respects, the chance to do so.
“Due to current restrictions the family will be attending a private service of celebration of Azaylia’s life.
“But prior to the Azaylia’s service we will be giving Azaylia her last journey through Nuneaton town.”
Ashley then confirmed the route the cortege will take.
He continued: “We would be touched and honored to see as many of those that wish, pay their respects to Azaylia by lining the streets somewhere along the route the cortege will proceed through.

“We respectfully ask all attending Azaylia’s final journey to adhere to the current Covid legislation…
“…to maintain social distancing and to keep within your family bubbles, this will ensure everyone is safe and following the rules that are set out.
“As truly difficult as the day will be, we are going to give it our all to keep Azaylia’s day an uplifting day of remembrance for her life and encourage anyone attending to show their love by clapping and making joyous noise of celebration as the cortege goes by!
