Now, her family is encouraging people to wear yellow to mark Cassie’s Day as she comes home to be buried in Alnwick on Friday.

Her sister Nadine posted on Facebook: ‘Our beautiful girl is home, for all those who would like to pay their respects to Cassie and say their goodbyes could we ask everyone to gather inside the entrance of Alnwick Cemetery on January 26 at noon, to help us guide Cassie to be with our loving dad.

‘While Cass is being laid to rest with close friends and family, could we kindly ask everyone to make their way to the Pavilion at Alnwick Garden for Cassie’s celebration of life. Please could we ask people to wear a touch of yellow as Cassie’s favourite colour was yellow.
