The former Love Island presenter was laid to rest on March 10, after she was found dead in her north-east London home on February 15 at the age of 40.
Caroline had pleaded not guilty to assaulting her boyfriend Lewis Burton at her former £1.1million home in North London, in a court hearing in December.
The troubled TV star, who was said by her management to be ‘vulnerable’, was found dead at her rented flat in Stoke Newington where Lou had been staying with her.

The anniversary comes just days after Caroline’s tearful mother blasted the Crown Prosecution Service for pursuing a ‘show trial’ of her daughter as her inquest revealed police pushed for the Love Island presenter to be prosecuted.
Caroline, well known for hosting Love Island and The X Factor, was found hanged at her home.
She had been due to stand trial for assaulting her boyfriend, former tennis player and model Lewis, after police arriving at the bloodstained scene described it looking like ‘a horror movie’.

Her mother, Christine, gave a written statement to the court in which she claimed her daughter had been ‘let down’ by the authorities.
‘I believe Caroline was seriously let down by the authorities and in particular the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) for pursuing the case,’ she said.
‘I believe this was a show trial. I feel the prosecutor was unkind to Caroline and my family. I was threatened with arrest when I tried to speak.’

The inquest went into detail about her poor mental health in the months leading up to her death, including evidence at the crime scene that she had self-harmed.
Lisa Ramsarran, a deputy chief Crown prosecutor in north London, said the CPS had considered her mental health while deciding whether to authorise a charge against her but decided the risk was ‘low’.
During the inquest a coroner ruled that Caroline killed herself after hearing she would definitely be prosecuted for assaulting her boyfriend.

Caroline was found dead a day after hearing the Crown Prosecution Service would go ahead with a trial for allegedly attacking her boyfriend.
Coroner Mary Hassell gave a verdict of suicide, saying: ‘I am entirely satisfied she intended to cause her own death. She hanged herself.
‘I find the reason for her taking her life was she now knew she was being prosecuted for certainty, and she knew she would face the media, press, publicity – it would all come down upon her. To me, that’s it in essence.’
