Azaylia Cain's heartbroken mum shows daughter's grave covered in orange flowers

Azaylia Cain's mum Safiyya Vorajee shared her heartache at her daughter's grave.

Everyone went into mourning when little Azaylia, who was born in August last year, died after she battled a rare form of aggressive leukemia.

At her graveside, Safiyya revealed the beautiful display of flowers laid in tribute to her little one for everyone to see.

Her name Azaylia was spelled out in white flowers with orange blooms flecking through the design.

Orange flowers and balloons decorated her grave and a cute lion cuddly was left behind for Azaylia.

Ribbons tied around the stems of the bouquets of flowers.

Her devastated mum Safiyya has been sharing her heartbreaking updates with her fans on Instagram.

She wrote: "Miss you baby. I love you."

Hundreds of people lined the streets in Nuneaton for the funeral after Azaylia's story moved everyone across the globe.

The parents broke down in tears saying goodbye to their daughter.

Orange balloons and bubbles were released into the air at the emotional funeral.

Safiyya and Ashley had raised £1.5million in donations to fly Azaylia to Singapore for special treatment but further complications showed it was not possible.

They made the most of their time they had with little Azaylia.

The proud parents have been sharing their grief with their loyal following on social media.

Emotional Ashley said there were "many tears, sadness and broken hearts" at his daughter's funeral.

In a lengthy post, he wrote in full: "We shared so many tears, sadness and broken hearts on Friday. The day I buried my daughter, something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. The weight of it it hasn’t really sank in yet, and I don’t know if it ever will. But I do know that I promised to do her proud, channelling her incredible energy every day for the rest of my life.

"So, despite Friday being the most devastating day any parent could go through, it was also beautiful. We remembered and reflected on how amazing Azaylia was; the love that she created and the pure, positive energy that she possessed throughout.

"I would do ANYTHING to bring my little angel back. She meant more to me than life itself and the fact I cannot change what has happened breaks me to pieces. It is something I will carry until the day I hold her in again in paradise.

"But, for now, I feel proud that we could give her the send off she deserved, a tribute to her short but impactful life... A beautiful life full of colour, strength, song and determination to enjoy every moment, even when dealt the toughest of hands.

"Thank you to everyone... Family, friends and supporters that made this day a special day for azaylia. Thank you to all those who came to wave her off.

"And thank you to everyone who continues to support us throughout this journey. You lift our spirits more than you will ever know, thank you.

"Azaylia, we love you and we miss you so so much baby. MY CHAMPION."
