The funeral of murdered British backpacker Grace Millane is taking place this morning.
The 22-year-old was in New Zealand as part of a round the world trip when she went missing from a hostel in Auckland on December 1.
Ms Millane's body was found by police more than a week later on the outskirts of the city after a nationwide search and international outcry over her disappearance.
Her funeral will take place at Brentwood Cathedral in her home county of Essex at 11.30am today.

A 26-year-old New Zealand man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been charged with her murder.
Just hours before the 22-year-old's funeral, her brother Declan Millane, posted a picture of him with his sister and a heart symbol.
Ms Millane's family, who flew out to New Zealand to collect the body, previously paid tribute to the talented artist.
They said: 'Grace went off to travel the world in mid-October and arrived in New Zealand on the 20th November.
'By the amount of pictures and messages we received, she clearly loved this country, its people and the lifestyle.
'We all hope that what has happened to Grace will not deter even one person from venturing out into the world and discovering their own OE (overseas experience).'

Calling the alleged crime 'heinous', the family also paid tribute to investigating officers for completing a 'concise, stringent and thorough investigation'.
They added: 'We would like to thank the people of New Zealand for their outpouring of love, numerous messages, tributes and compassion.
'Grace was not born here and only managed to stay a few weeks, but you have taken her to your hearts and in some small way she will forever be a Kiwi.'
More than 1,000 people across New Zealand had previously turned out out for candlelight vigils held to commemorate the British tourist.

The 22-year-old backpacker's death has struck a deep chord in a country where many young people take gap years to travel and citizens gathered in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland in December to pay their respects.
The incident caused New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to apologise to her family on behalf of her country.
She said: 'From the Kiwis I have spoken to there is this overwhelming sense of hurt and shame that this has happened in our country, a place that prides itself on our hospitality ... especially to those who are visiting our shores,' she said.
'On behalf of New Zealand, I want to apologise to Grace's family. Your daughter should have been safe here and she wasn't and I'm sorry for that.'
From New Zealand, Ms Millane was intending to go to Fiji, then Australia before returning to Britain on June 26, 2019.
She intended to go on another trip to the Far-East.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
