Lauren Goodger has shared the first photos of her daughter Larose's first birthday party following the tragic death of her second daughter Lorena.
Former TOWIE star Lauren, 35, took to her Instagram stories to share an array of photos of the special day which included a pink theme.
The birthday celebrations came just weeks after Lauren's second daughter Lorena was born and sadly passed away shortly after she was born – leaving Lauren "broken".
However, Lauren put on a brave face and tried to make Larose's first birthday as special as possible.
The little girl was treated to two cakes on her special day – one pink and white towered cake with a floral arrangement on top and another pink one with her name on it.

Keeping in theme with her name, there were rose decorations placed around the room.
Lauren posted a video of an impressive food display from The Grazing Buddha that featured an array of options as well as a white cart with different types of sweets placed on it from Toot Sweet Candy Cart.
There was a toy section for Larose to enjoy that had a white mini bouncy castle as well as other toys scattered next to it.
Lauren's photos of the special day, which took place at the end of July, come after a difficult few weeks for Lauren as her daughter Lorena passed away and she was allegedly assaulted.
Charles Drury, was arrested on suspicion of assault following an alleged assault.
Charles has categorically denied the alleged attack, saying: "There’s a completely different side to stuff."
Lauren has recently thanked her fans for the support they have given her through the difficult time.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday evening, the 35-year-old shared a lengthy post to her followers saying: "Just want to say thank you to everyone for all the love & support in this horrendous terrible whirlwind in my life the last few weeks! I do read your messages thank you.
"During this traumatic time I've lost but I've also gained some values in this awful heartbroken time ... some new friends and become closer to my current ones & some family ..it really has shown me who is meant to be in my life and I love each and every one one of you thank you .. I only have a few and that's all I need and it's taught me some life long lessons however hard it's been."
She added: "Asked Lorena when I had her at home the night before her funeral ‘please guide me please let my life, lead the path it's meant to be & give me strength & courage’ and a lot changed instantly and I trust her.
"She is making my new path thank you Lorena I love you and I know you’re with me always and I know you've cleared out and made way for what's meant to be."
Lauren finished her post by calling Larose her 'rock'.
