She passed away on Tuesday morning following a well documented battle with stage four neuroblastoma, something she was diagnosed with aged two. 

People from all over the country sent more than a thousand flowers to the church where her funeral took place.

West Ham United club captain Mark Noble is among those who have paid tribute to Isla, saying “rest in peace darling”.

He carried Isla out onto the London Stadium in 2018 when she was a mascot in a game against AFC Bournemouth; Noble, alongside former Hammer Robert Snodgrass, visited her when she was receiving treatment in Barcelona.
