Heartbroken parents of tot Kiara Moore who died when car rolled into river urge mourners to wear 'br

A "BRIGHT and beautiful" funeral will be held for a two-year-old girl who died when she was left strapped in a car that plunged into a river, her parents have said.

Kiara Moore died after mum Kimberley Rowlands left her alone while she dashed into her partner's office to grab some cash, with the car rolling into the freezing River Teifi in Cardigan, West Wales.

Her parents have been left reeling at the two-year-old's tragic death - and now face the devastating task of organising their daughter's funeral on her third birthday.

But dad Jet Moore, 40, said they wanted to celebrate their little girl's life on Tuesday March 27.

Writing on Facebook, the he said: "Myself, Kim and family would like to invite you all to either the funeral and party for her happy life and birthday! ( or just be have a thought for her on this day and make some one happy).

"Please bring kids if you can! (we are keeping it a happy celebration)."

He said that the dress code would be "bright and beautiful and or fun only".

The family also revealed that they wanted to set up a trust to support mental health, asking for anyone attending the funeral to make a donation.

A major hunt for Kiara was sparked after Kimberley originally believed her silver Mini had been stolen after she had dashed inside to grab some crash earlier this week.

After a two hour search, the tot's body was found inside the car, with mum Kimberley since saying she blamed herself for the tragic accident.

Posting on Facebook, the mum wrote: "Sadly yesterday my beautiful baby girl passed away! Due to my own stupidity, I will have to live with the guilt for the rest of my life!

"Mummy loves you baby girl and I'm so sorry!"

Police are now reportedly preparing to quiz the 25-year-old over the tragedy and she could face prosecution if lawyers decide she placed little Kiara "at risk" by leaving her alone close to the steep slope.

Although leaving a child alone isn't against the law, it is an offence to leave them by themselves if it's "likely to lead to injury or suffering".
