It was just six weeks after her prom that Connie Holmes lost her life to a rare form of cancer. Her dad, Tony, said he he couldn't "begin to describe" the grief.
The fight that would cut short her young life started when she experienced pain in the left side of her body. Eventually, it meant she could no longer use her hand.
After seeing her GP, Connie went to hospital in Leeds, close to the family home in Bilton-in-Ainsty, near Harrogate in North Yorkshire. It led to her being diagnosed with an aggressive and rare cancer called Ewing's Sarcoma, which attacks bones or the soft tissues around them.
