A funeral will be held for two British children whose mother admitted suffocating them in a Spanish hotel room.
Rebecca Smith, five, and her 11-month-old brother Daniel were found dead at the Hotel Miramar in Lloret de Mar, on the Costa Brava, on May 18.
Their mother, Lianne Smith, 43, is being held in prison in Girona on suspicion of murder and will not be released temporarily to attend the funeral.
The ceremony is expected to be held in the seaside resort where the children's bodies were found.
The family fled from the UK in 2007 after the children's father, Martin Smith, 45, was arrested over alleged child sex offences.
Smith, originally from North Shields, was one of Britain's most wanted men until Spanish police tracked him down and arrested him last month.
The children died around the time their father was extradited to Britain.
As both parents are in custody it has been difficult for them to make funeral arrangements for their children, sources have said.
Prayers will be recited and the children will be buried in the local cemetery afterwards, the priest conducting the ceremony said.
It is not known whether any family members will attend but representatives of the town's civic administration are likely to be present, he added.
