Lytham awash with pink as hundreds of people attend Bella Greer's funeral procession
- 6 months ago
Hundreds of people dressed in pink filled Fylde Rugby Club as they said their final goodbyes to 14-year-old Bella Greer on Thursday morning (October 19).
Bella was found unresponsive at her home in Cypress Point, Ansdell, on Thursday, October 5.
Her mother Sarah performed CPR but was sadly unable to resuscitate her despite her best efforts.
Following her tragic death, her family asked “as many people as possible” to walk behind Bella and wear “as much pink as possible” as they escorted her to the gates of Lytham Crematorium.
A GoFundMe page was also set up by Jaime to raise awareness of Bella’s story and to help young people struggling with their mental health and bullying.
With a target of £5,000, the money will be used to fund packages for schools and hire premises where young people can meet and talk about their feelings and problems.
“We need to do something to prevent such experiences happening to others,” Jaime added.
“Let’s not let Bella die in vain and raise money to spread Bella’s story and hopefully make a difference to our community, young people and families.”
