The funeral for the zookeeper who was killed by a tiger at a Cambridgeshire zoo will take place today.

Rosa King died in what was described as a "freak accident" when she was attacked at Hamerton Zoo near Huntingdon last month.

The zoo, which has been closed since the incident, is due to re-open on Friday.

The tiger involved won't be put down after Rosa's family made it clear they wanted to keep it alive.
