Mourners have lined the streets in Livingston for the funeral of murdered six-year-old Hope Gordon.

The schoolgirl and her 36-year-old father, Mark Gordon, were found dead after police forced entry to a property in Harburn Drive, West Calder, on 20 January.

Police Scotland has launched a murder investigation into her death and has said Mr Gordon’s death is not being treated as suspicious.

Following a private ceremony, Hope’s coffin was taken by horse-drawn carriage through the Dedridge area to her final resting place at Adambrae Cemetery.

A fundraiser, organised by a family friend, raised over £10,000 to cover the cost of the funeral.

The fundraising page said Hope was a “vibrant and loving little girl, known for her infectious smile, kind spirit, and deep love for animals”.

Fiona Linfoot, head teacher of Toronto Primary School in Livingston where Hope was a pupil, described her as “a bright, bubbly and affectionate girl”.

The family are being supported by specialist officers.
