The funeral of a pregnant woman from Birmingham who died from Covid, takes place later.
Unvaccinated 37-year-old Saiqa Parveen died in intensive care after catching coronavirus while eight months pregnant with her fifth child.
She underwent an emergency caesarean and was on a ventilator until her death last Monday and never got to meet her newborn daughter.
Her family are now urging to all pregnant women to get the Covid-19 vaccine.
Her brother Qayoum Mughal said: "If she had the vaccine, she might have had a chance of surviving."
