Tributes have been paid to a 'bubbly' teenager who died after being pulled from a river as thousands of pounds have been raised for her funeral. Abbie Walton was pulled from the River Etherow in Broadbottom, Tameside, last Wednesday evening (June 14).
Friends of the 15-year-old Copley Academy student left flowers and balloons for her at the scene last week. A GoFundMe page has since been set up by Abbie's family to help cover the cost of her funeral.
More than £3,300 has been raised so far from over 120 donations. In a heartfelt tribute posted on the GoFundMe page, Abbie's sister Nicola described her as 'our little butterfly' who was 'always dancing and singing'.
