A brave nurse who took her own life after struggling to cope when she lost three limbs to sepsis has been laid to rest following a horse-drawn procession through her home town.
People lined the streets to say farewell to Jayne Carpenter, 53, ahead of her funeral today at St Tydfil s Old Parish Church in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales.
Jayne, who campaigned to highlight the dangers of sepsis, continued to dance and keep-fit using metal prosthetic legs that caused terrible pain and infections.
Her heartbroken husband Rob, 56, said she would have loved having four black horses for her funeral procession.

The new polymer £5 notes depicting Britain’s wartime leader, Sir Winston Churchill, have now completely replaced the old paper ones as legal tender.

Which serial numbers are valuable?
The best fivers are those from the first batch, with serial numbers starting “AA01”. The rest of the number should be low to guarantee a high price.
