In SYDNEY item "Cycling-Australia mourns cyclist killed in
Germany" please read in opening paragraph "... town of
Ballarat" instead of "... town of Ballarata" (correcting
spelling)
A corrected version follows:
SYDNEY, June 29 - More than a hundred mourners
attended the funeral of Australian cyclist Amy Gillett in the
Victorian town of Ballarat on Friday, 11 days after she was
killed while training in Germany.
The 29-year-old Gillett was killed instantly when an
18-year-old driver veered across the road and ploughed into
Gillett and five of her team mates from the Australian women's
cycling squad on July 18.
A message from Gillett's team mates was read at the
service.
Gillett's husband Simon, a former world champion rower,
arrived back in Australia with her body on Monday.
During the service family members laid roses and a cycling
vest on her coffin.
Gillett's parents and her father-in-law delivered eulogies.
Her father, Denis Safe, told the service that his daughter
and her husband were a close couple.
"She told me many many times how close you both were," Safe
told mourners. "Amy's love for you Simon will live on and is
never ending."
A second memorial service will be held in Adelaide on
August 5.
