The funeral is to take place today of Inishowen girl Caitlin Strain.

The nine-year-old Burnfoot girl bravely fought against a brain tumour for a number of years, before sadly passing away over the weekend.

Numerous funding raises drives had taken place in recent months to secure funding to allow Caitlin to receive specialist treatment in the US.

Caitlin will be deeply missed by her parents Thomas and Eimear, her loving sisters Maria, Danielle and Laura and her loving brother Michael.

Caitlin will be sadly missed by her grandparents Monica Gibson and Ann Strain, her uncles, aunts, cousins, extended family and friends.

Removal from her home at 10.15am to St Aengus' Church, Burt for Requiem Mass at 11.00am followed by interment in St Mura's Cemetery, Fahan.
