Schoolchildren walk past Elle Edwards tributes as 'devastated' community pulls together

Children returning to school for the first day of the new term walked past hundreds of floral tributes to Elle Edwards.

The devastated community in Wallasey Village continued its collective healing process this morning as children returned to school days after Elle Edwards' senseless murder. The 26-year-old, described by her family as "special" and "beautiful", was shot in the head at the Lighthouse pub shortly before midnight on Christmas Eve.
