A London teenager who was found dead in the Malaysian jungle last month will be laid to rest in Belfast later.
Nora Quorin's body was discovered on 4th August, less than two miles from the Dunsen resort, where she had been on holiday with her family.
Hundreds of people were involved in the search for the 15-year-old, who was born with the brain defect holoprosencephaly.
Her French-Irish parents described Nora as "vulnerable" and they believe she was abducted, insisting she would not have wandered off by herself.
However, police in Malaysia said they have so far found no evidence of abduction or kidnapping.
A post-mortem examination revealed Nora died from internal bleeding probably caused by hunger and stress.
A funeral will be held at St. Brigid's Church in south Belfast at 1pm this afternoon.
It is where Nora was baptised and and close to where her mum Maebh was raised.
She will then be laid to rest at Milltown Cemetery.
