The close family told The Sun they will not be attending the little girl’s funeral, which was sponsored by the council in Redditch, Worcs.

Undertaker Nigel Peace brought the flowers back to her favorite pub, where friends Mark Beard and Samantha Moore raised glasses of white wine, Mandy’s drink of choice.

Mark, 58, owner of the Yard of Ale in Stratford-upon-Avon said: “Unfortunately, we weren’t allowed to attend the funeral. But a large group of us know she is here. We want to give Mandy a suitable farewell. Something she deserves. ”

The pub plans to honor Mandy with a plaque.

Barmaid Samantha, 42, added: “She has a favorite spot to sit in. You can always hear her coming. She had an infectious laugh. We will miss her very much. ”

Mandy’s life spirals out of control after losing her child.

She had three more children but broke up with her partner Paul Hudson.

In 2007, she was arrested for drive while limited to three times with her children in the car.

It is understood that Mandy’s ashes will be returned to her family.

Her children were buried at West Norwood Cemetery in South London in small white coffins.
