In pictures: Mourners wear her favourite colour yellow to say goodbye to Burnley's 'gig queen' Nikki

Family and friends wore yellow to say goodbye to Burnley mum of three Nikki Sawley who died last month at the age of 49.

It was the favourite colour of Nikki who was known by so many people for her bubbly and out going personality.

Nikki was also at the heart of Burnley's 'gig family' which she created for people who loved going to music festivals and events.

Although numbers were restricted at her funeral at Burnley Crematorium a speaker was erected for the many people who gathered outside to pay their respects.
