The funeral of the youngest victim of the Manchester terror attack will be held at the city's cathedral next week.
The service for Saffie Rose Roussos, aged eight, will be the last of the funerals held for the 22 people killed in the bombing at Manchester Arena on May 22.
A statement issued by Greater Manchester Police on behalf of Saffie's family said relatives, friends and anyone who had been touched by her death were invited to attend the "celebration of her life" at Manchester Cathedral.
People are invited to bring a single rose in memory of Saffie to the service at 1.45pm on Wednesday July 26.
Saffie, from Leyland, Lancashire, was at the Ariana Grande concert at the arena with her mother Lisa Roussos and older sister, Ashlee Bromwich, when suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated a home-made device.
Mrs Roussos was seriously injured in the explosion.
Speaking earlier this month on what would have been Saffie's ninth birthday, her father Andrew said: "We've lost everything.
"We have, we've lost everything, because life will just never be the same."
