Schools, sporting clubs and community organisations are providing guards of honour as the little boy is laid to rest alongside his parents and two older brothers, who also lost their lives in the October 13 blaze.
Elliot, who underwent open-heart surgery as an infant, sadly died last Friday at Children’s Health Ireland in Crumlin, Dublin, after spending a month fighting for his life.
He had suffered critical burns and smoke inhalation injuries during the fire at the family home in the early hours of October 13.
His death comes after the loss of his parents, Kim and Philip, and his brothers, Callum, 12, and Jayden, nine, in the same tragedy.
Elliot's funeral Mass takes place at 12 noon today, Friday, November 13, at the Sacred Heart Church in The Folly, Waterford.
The church is the same place where funeral services for his parents and brothers were previously held.
Following the requiem Mass, Elliot will be laid to rest beside his beloved family at Kilbarry Cemetery.
His remains reposed at Hennessy's Funeral Home in Johnstown on Thursday evening, where family, friends and members of the public had an opportunity to pay their respects.
Today's service also includes the month's mind Mass for Kim, Philip, Callum and Jayden, bringing the family together in one final farewell.
The guards of honour being organised by local schools, sports clubs and community groups are expected to provide a moving tribute to Elliot, reflecting the deep sadness felt throughout Waterford following the loss of all five members of the English family.
