Hundreds of people across Flintshire and Wrexham turned out to pay their respects to a popular teenager.

Crowds flocked to pay tribute to 13-year-old schoolgirl Chantelle Jones, who passed away suddenly on October 1.

Following the tragic death of the youngster, a balloon stomp was organised in Llay in her memory by Rebecca Williamson, Kim Lea and Joanne Jones.

However, due to the lockdown rules, those who could not travel to Llay, turned up outside Castell Alun High School to pay their respects there.

The school entrance and fences were covered with flowers, balloons and messages as the community came together following the tragic loss.

Attendees described it as an 'emotional' event.

People were also encouraged to bring pink and black balloons, Chantelle's favourite colours.

They also wore memorial T-shirts and created posters in her memory.

Volunteers attempted to ensure social distancing while police watched on, before organisers made speeches to the watching crowd.

Tributes have since poured in for the Year 9 pupil following her death.
