Hundreds of people went to St George's parish church in Qormi yesterday afternoon to pay their respects to 13-year old Graziella Fenech, who died of injuries suffered in a road accident last Sunday.

The white coffin at the front of the church was surrounded by floral tributes as grief-stricken relatives, friends and neighbours attended the service.

Graziella Fenech was with her cousin Emma Marie Housley, 17, when they were hit by a car while crossing the road at Triq is-Sebh, the Mriehel bypass, last Sunday night.
