Charity Gada speaks to BBC Sussex

After an anguished month of repeatedly delaying their daughter's funeral, the parents of a little girl from Eastbourne killed in a car accident before Christmas have finally been told their family from Zimbabwe will be able to attend.

Andrea Gada's aunt and grandparents have now been told they CAN come to the UK for her funeral - previously their visas had been repeatedly denied by the Home Office.

But it seems the massive campaign to try and persuade the government to relent has now been successful- 95 thousand people signed a petition which was handed into 10 Downing street.

Andrea's mum Charity has been speaking to BBC Sussex's Neil Pringle.
