Family release new photos of Saffie Roussos on day of her funeral

A montage of photos celebrating the short life of Saffie Roussos, the youngest victim of the Manchester Arena bombing, has been released by her family and friends.

Set to music by her pop idol, Ariana Grande, the eight-year-old is pictured in a series of family snaps, happily playing with her brother Xander, smiling alongside her parents on family holidays, wearing make-up and dressing up.

The YouTube clip, set to the Grande song One Last Time, was shared as her funeral gets under way, and the three-minute video is captioned: "She always wanted to be a YouTube star, she was a confident, bright young girl full of life love, joy and happiness."

Saffie's friends hope the video, which will be shown at her funeral, will be liked and shared using the hashtag #Saffiethesuperstar to fulfil her dream of becoming a YouTube star.
