Funeral date set for toddler who tragically died in caravan fire

The funeral of two-year-old girl who tragically died in a fire at a Lincolnshire caravan park will take place later this month.

Louisiana-Brook’s mother Natasha Broadley managed to escape the fire with her three other children, all under 11-years-old, who were later discharged from hospital. The fire happened at the Sealands Caravan Park in Ingoldmells at around 10.30pm on Monday, August 23.

Natasha Broadley said her precious baby girl’s funeral will take place on at St Mary Magdalene Church on Church Walk in Newark at 11am on September 27.

She said: “Anyone is welcome to come as all the love and support for me and my children and family has been unbelievable and the colour theme is pink or lemon for my baby girl. Thank you so much, big hugs from me, no children allowed.”

Earlier this month hundreds of pink balloons were released from Riverside Park in Newark and into the sky in memory of Louisiana-Brook.

At the weekend, a procession of brightly-lit vans and lorries paraded through Skegness and Ingoldmells in her memory as tributes continue to pour in for the little girl.
