Ellie-May Dorandeath: Service held in her memory | |
(about 20 hours later) | |
A service has been held in memory of a two-year-old girl who died after being hit by a reversing car on an Oxfordshire caravan site. | |
Eileen Doran, known as Ellie-May, was struck while at Oaks View Park, Upper Arncott, on Saturday, 15 March. | |
Father John Battula who led the service at the Immaculate Conception Church in Bicester on Sunday said parishioners had found her death "very difficult". | |
The toddler's funeral is due to be held in Northampton later. | |
Father John Battula said: "The parishioners found [Ellie-May's death] very difficult because we saw [her] grandmother in the church the next morning, on Sunday morning, so quite a few couldn't control their tears. | |
"It is very important that we celebrate the short, but sweet, life of Ellie-May in the parish here with a requiem mass because we want to give her a good send-off." | |
Following Ellie-May's death, a 49-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and bailed until 31 March. | Following Ellie-May's death, a 49-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and bailed until 31 March. |
