A video captures the sad moment that Blackpool waved a final goodbye to Gayna Sedgwick as her funeral procession travelled along the Golden Mile.

Former employees joined with friends and acquaintances to pay their final respects to a 'beautiful' and successful businesswoman who was 'lovely inside and out'.

She's remembered as being kind to her staff, and 'always there' for people around her.

We joined a 'celebration of life' at No13 Bonny Street, where Gayna's funeral was livestreamed and shown on all the screens to friends and acquaintances.
