There is more news on this now

Torbay Council has arranged her funeral for 21 September. It was due to take place at Drakes Chapel in Torquay, but because of global interest in her story a church service is now being arranged and will involve members of the military.

Drakes of Torbay Funeral Service said they had received e-mails and phone calls from across the world from people who had been so moved by her plight that they were offering to pay for her funeral or wanting to send flowers.

The church venue for the funeral service has yet to be announced
