       The funeral cortege included two miniature gypsy caravans adorned with red and white flowers carried on the back of flatbed trucks.

       And a floral tribute resembling a traditional gypsy Cob horse was spotted travelling in the procession.

       Intricate displays of flowers spelled out "My mum, my world", "Kooleys Nan" and "I love you" also featured.

       And Romani flags - which feature a red wagon wheel on a blue and green backdrop - were seen flying from four Rolls Royces.
