LEATHER-clad bikers roared out of a quiet Oxfordshire village today to honour a "kind, loving and inspiring" seven-year-old who lost a battle with cancer.

More than 50 members of the Wolfpack Motorcycle Club led a funeral procession for Isabelle Sewell from her home in Kingston Bagpuize near Abingdon at midday.

The unusual cortege, a tribute to Izzy's love of motorbikes, carried her to St Andrew's Church in Headington where her funeral was held this afternoon.

Izzy was diagnosed with kidney cancer in December and passed away on Wednesday, May 18.

Today, her mum Nicola Sewell bid goodbye to the daughter who she said she would miss every day.

She said: "You always looked after and protected me Izzy, as I did you.

"You were a kind, loving little girl who touched and inspired so many lives.

"You always looked after you mum and sisters, you even taught Charlotte how to stick her tongue out – ever since you have gone she has stopped doing it.

"I will miss you every day, a piece of my heart will always be broken now that you are gone."

Among those at the funeral were Izzy's sisters, Holly, nine, Jessica, five, and seven-month-old Charlotte.

Her cousin Paige, 16 and other family and friends also attended including the Wolfpack bikers.

Eight years ago Ms Sewell lost another daughter Jade to cancer and she decorated the church yesterday with pictures of them beside each other with the words "together forever".

Ms Sewell said: "Isabelle was diagnosed in December just before Christmas.

"It was horrible but I just had this awful feeling that we were going to lose her and we wanted to do all the things that I didn't with Jade."

During Izzy's last few months, a friend of the family set up a crowdfunding page to make Izzy's final wishes come true and hoped to raise around £1,500 to #smilelikeizzy.

The funding reached £4,145 and gave Izzy the chance to fly over her house in a helicopter, get a life in a limo and ride out with around 40 bikers as a "massive fan".

Izzy's mum said: "It is amazing how generous people are, Izzy definitely touched a lot of people's hearts."

Two black horses and a carriage pulled up outside the service - as another of one of the youngsters favourite things - to continue the procession to Oxford crematorium.

Ms Sewell added: "She was always smiling no matter what, never moaned.

"We had a lot more time when we found out with Jade than we had with Izzy but for both it was just little things like Jade started feeling tired and had a bit of a leg ache. Then Izzy had stomach pains.

"I just want to raise that awareness, even if you're not sure take your children to the doctors and go with your instinct."
