By the way, it's worth remembering that the total displayed on the page doesn't include Gift Aid. So the current total of £360,000 will be boosted by the £79,173 from GiftAid. The total is closing in on half a million.

The funeral of the runner who died near the finish line of the London Marathon has taken place at a church in Leicestershire.

More than £1m has been raised for charity since 30-year-old Claire Squires' death on 22 April.

Hundreds of people were at the service to celebrate the life of the hairdresser, from North Kilworth, at the parish church of St Andrew's.

Can't think of a more fitting tribute to one of life's givers. Her family and loved ones must be as proud as they are bereft.

RIP

They attended the funeral service but not the burial - presumably felt it was too painful?
