The mother and grandparents of Jade Goody have launched a £100,000 legal battle against Mirror Group Newspapers over the publication of pictures of her burial.

The family of the deceased reality TV star are suing the publisher and agency NewsPics claiming pictures of her burial, which appeared in the People newspaper on 5 April, were an invasion of privacy and a breach of confidence.

The picture published in the Sunday tabloid showed a group of mourners at the burial.
