Hundreds of people have paid their respects to a High Wycombe student who died in a 'tragic accident'.
Around 450 people attended the funeral of Eleisha Skinner on Friday, February 6 in her home town of Faversham, Kent.
The 21-year-old, who was previously named Miss Faversham in 2022, died after being crushed by a car she was unloading outside her student accommodation.
An inquest opening at Beaconsfield Coroners Court heard how the Buckinghamshire New University student was crushed between the vehicle and the building on January 5 last year.
She died three days later from her injuries at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.
Eleisha's funeral took place at St Mary of Charity Church.

KentOnline reported that her coffin was carried by horse and carriage past her former school on the way to the church where a traditional ceremony was held.
In a message from her family which was read out by reverend Dan Corcoran, Eleisha was described as 'stunning, confident and always beautifully herself'.
A GoFundMe page has been launched for Eleisha to raise money for the Thames Valley Air Ambulance team which helped to try and save her life.
More than £7,000 has now been raised for the service with 258 people having donated at the time of writing.
In the fundraiser, which was set up by Eleisha's mother, Clare, it says: "Our beautiful daughter Eleisha was in a tragic accident at the young age of 21yrs.
"With the amazing response of the emergency services, we were able to spend her last few days with her.
"The air ambulance doctor was fantastic , we would like to raise funds in Eleisha’s name to support this charity, so they can continue the amazing work that they do."
