Date set for Olivia Newton-John's state funeral

Olivia Newton-John's state funeral will take place in early December.

The Australian actress and singer, who sadly lost her breast cancer battle on the 8th of August, will be honoured in her hometown of Melbourne despite living in California for most of her career. 

Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will perform at one of Olivia's favourite places - the Royal Botanic Gardens, where she spent a lot of time with her mother.  There is even a park bench dedicated to her late-mother in the gardens.
