THE funeral has taken place in North Yorkshire of two-year-old Sadie Rose Clifford.

The service was held yesterday at St John’s Church in Knaresborough.

Sadie Rose died from a rare form of cancer, neuroblastoma, a cancer that develops from nerve tissue.

Her parents, Katie and Darren Clifford, were told last month nothing more could be done and Sadie Rose died on June 25.

More than £400,000 was raised for a treatment regime in America for the toddler but it proved unsuccessful.

Donations have continued since her death and the Clifford family said the money raised would be used to help other children with neuroblastoma.
