'Sadness and joy' at Marie’s funeral

Right-to-die campaigner Marie Fleming loved life, said a minister at her funeral.

The multiple sclerosis patient died at her home last week, aged 59, with her dedicated partner Tom Curran by her side.

She lost a landmark Supreme Court case in Dublin in April, when lawyers argued Mr Curran should be allowed to help end her life without fear of prosecution, as she was physically unable to do it herself.
