'Your mummy was a hero': Father takes his baby daughter to funeral of mother, 20, who died saving her life by shoving her pram out of path of a lorry

Hundreds of mourners gathered today for the funeral of Lauren Heath, 20, who somehow managed to push baby Millie, one, (both pictured right) to safety as she was hit by a lorry in Reading on April 13. 



Well-wishers donated more than £23,000 in Ms Heath's memory which was used for today's funeral and to provide a nest egg for Millie when she reaches her 21st birthday. Today dozens of mourners, many wearing pink, lined the streets as the cortege carrying Ms Heath's coffin was driven through the streets of her home town of Whitley in Reading.
