FRIENDS and family celebrated the life of "bubbly" Katy Pancott at a funeral service at Oxford Crematorium today.
More than 100 mourners filled St John's Chapel at the crematorium to remember the 19-year-old who died after being hit by a car on the A40 on October 9.
Her father David Griffin paid tribute to his "intelligent and beautiful" daughter and, as the service ended, those close to Miss Pancott laid red roses on her coffin.
Multi-faith minister Revd Ann Thompson, who led the service, read out a tribute from Mr Griffin.
It said: "Never in my wildest dreams wold I have expected or wanted to outlive one of my children.
"It is hard to say if your children really understand just how much you love them.
"My love for Katy, as for all my children, was unconditional.
"Katy was a very loving person and loved all of her family very much.
"She was also a very intelligent and beautiful person, as much on the inside as the outside.
"She was very bubbly and so full of life."
