Woman slams teen girls' 'grim' funeral outfits - but her rant backfires
As the UK is in the middle of a heatwave, many will be changing up what they wear in a bid to feel as cool as possible. That might involve wearing shorts to work or an airy, summery dress to a wedding.
However, one woman thought three young girls took things too far with the outfits they decided to wear to a funeral during the warm weather - and it's sparked a massive debate.
She deemed their outfits "grim" and said there was a "time and a place" - but a funeral was not it. However, not everyone agreed.

She continued: "Then a group of three girls. They looked older than primary school age, but younger than A level.

"The one was in a skintight mini dress she kept having to pull down. The other two were in those hot pants-vest combo unitard things people seem to wear these days. Basically like a Spanx leotard, coming a couple of inches below the bum.
"Yes, it's hot. And yes, people can wear what they like, but surely there's a time and a place, and a funeral is not the place."
She went on to admit that if they were her "young teens coming down for a funeral dressed like that," she would have sent them back to get changed.
While some agreed that their outfits sounded inappropriate for such a sombre occasions, others thoughts she was wrong for slamming the young girls' outfits.
One person commented: "I'm guessing they were there to mourn the loss of someone they love. It was probably their first funeral. I'm not sure this is the time to judge someone."
A second said: "I think it's grim that you are judging them. They are young, probably don't have a 'funeral outfit' like most adults, and might not know what's expected at a funeral. Leave them to grieve in peace."
"Why does it matter? Was there a dress code stated? If so and they were young then there's every chance they didn't understand or didn’t have someone available to explain it to them," remarked a third.
However, another said: "Of course it's inappropriate, their parents should have advised them on how to dress for a funeral."
A second agreed, adding: "I'm with you, someone should have said something before they got there."
