Hundreds gather to farewell slain nurse

Mourners have gathered for the funeral of murdered Sydney-based New Zealand nurse Michelle Beets.

Hundreds of family and friends filled Our Lady Of Dolours Church in Chatswood for the 2pm (4pm NZT) service.

The 57-year-old was found murdered on the doorstep of her Chatswood home on the evening of April 27.

Police are yet to identify her killer.

Eulogies will be given by her father Robby Beets and her sister Yvonne Cassel.

The Beatles song Michelle and Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah will be among the music tributes to the Royal North Shore Hospital nurse.

The Michelle Beets Memorial Fund for Nursing has been set up in her memory.
