A young girl was laid to rest after suddenly collapsing at school on Wednesday afternoon.
Rai-Lèyah Parveen Jayne Saddique, 10, was rushed to Pinderfields Hospital in the UK after the incident. She was then transferred to Leeds General Infirmary, where she died in the early hours of Monday morning.
Several hundred people attended Rai-Lèyah's funeral service at Jamia Masjid Swafia mosque, which was followed by a burial service at Wakefield Cemetery on Sugar Lane.
Among the mourners were friends and teachers from her school in Wakefield.
A family spokesman said: "She was a hard-working girl who was loved by family and friends.
"Her school was closed today. Students attended (her funeral) and let off balloons," reports Yorkshire Live.
The spokesman said it was believed that Rai-Lèyah, who was described as a previously fit and healthy girl, had suffered a brain haemorrhage.
The family spokesman said around 200-300 people had attended the funeral, including pupils and staff from her school.
Rai-Lèyah's death was announced by the Muslim funeral service Janaza Announcements Facebook page, where hundreds of people offered their prayers for the family alongside many tributes.
One family member wrote: "Heartbreaking - she was a little beauty, little angel. May Allah swt give her the highest rank in Jannah we will miss u lots love u."
One well-wisher said: "Can't even begin to imagine what they are going through."
One man posted: "Heartbreaking and tragic news, she's only a little older than our daughter and I can't imagine the agony the parents must be feeling."
One woman wrote: "Beautiful angel. Ameen."
