The Reverend Canon Vivian Elphick will be taking the service at St Laurence Church.

She has been speaking to Kayleigh's family ahead of the funeral today.

She says: "They are glad to have Kayleigh back and to lay her to rest and to peace.

"It is going to be the most difficult day of their life and I don't think we can begin to imagine what that's going to be like for them."

If you're heading into Warwickshire on the A5 there's a couple of issues worth being aware of.

The A5 is closed in Dordon, there's delays and queuing traffic around the Long Street junction, because of an accident and recovery work. 

Also, one lane is closed and there's queuing traffic on M42 southbound between J10 and J9. Congestion is back to J11.

As most of the snow has melted away now there's little disruption to schools.
