to her 'superhero in the sky' at an emotional funeral attended by her son's hero Jermain Defoe.
More
than three thousand people, many in football shirts, lined the streets
of Blackhall Colliery, Bradley's home village in County Durham, to pay
their respects to a six-year-old who inspired millions.
The football-loving youngster fought bravely against the childhood cancer neuroblastoma and his friendship with former Sunderland striker Defoe touched the hearts of fans around the world.
Bradley's
coffin was brought to the ceremony in a glass carriage, pulled by two
white horses decked out in the colours of Bradley's beloved Sunderland
football team.
A line of Bradley's
favourite superheroes - including Batman, Spiderman and Captain America -
saluted as the little coffin was carried into St Joseph's church by
family and friends.
