A young woman who died after she was knocked down by a car in west Belfast will be remembered for her "beautiful smile".
Mourners gathered at St Teresa's Church on the Glen Road in Andersonstown for Requiem Mass for Lucy McIlhatton, who died on Sunday.
The 24-year-old was struck by a silver Toyota Avensis car as she walked along the Springfield Road shortly after 9pm.
A 44-year-old man was later arrested at Musgrave Police Station, after he attended voluntarily in the early hours of Monday.
He was arrested on suspicion of a number of offences including causing death by dangerous driving, driving when unfit through drink or drugs, failing to remain where an accident occurred, causing injury and assault on police.
He was later released on police bail pending further enquiries.
Speaking to those gathered today, Fr Gabriel Lyons said the tragic death of Lucy, who is believed to have had just moved into a new home in the New Barnsley area before Christmas, had left her family and friends "walking in the darkness of grief".
"Lucy was her father's princess and her mother's best friend and an amazing sister to Sean," he said.
"Her childhood was filled with busy activities. Their holidays in Donegal. Long days were spent on the beach with the family. Beautiful memories that will last forever.
"She was a natural A-star student who never boasted. She had a wonderful group of friends who loved her and will always be remembered for her beautiful smile.
"Lucy brought light into her family, light into her work, into her relationships, with her friends".
Fr Lyons said the 24-year-old had found love with her partner, Oliver and the couple were "just starting out on their life journey together".
He said Lucy had a "joy for life" and "laughed at many things".
"It is a laughter that will fill the hearts forever of those who grieve for her and she will always be their Lucy".
The parish priest said there "can't be any answers" because Lucy's sudden death "does not make any sense to us".
"Her family and friends are walking in the darkness of grief and that is a really hard challenge for them," he said.
"Lucy's family will need your love and support for a long time".
Following Requiem Mass, Lucy McIIhatton was laid to rest in Milltown Cemetery.
