April Jones funeral held in Machynlleth

A funeral service for five-year-old April Jones has taken place in mid Wales, almost a year after she was abducted and murdered.

About 200 people walked behind the funeral cortege as it travelled from her home in Machynlleth to a nearby church.

April was abducted by Mark Bridger on 1 October last year, sparking the biggest missing person search in UK police history.

Bridger was jailed for life in May after being found guilty at Mold Crown Court.
