“Seeing her around school for six years, she always had a smile on her face in the sixth form common room.
“Knowing how much she meant to some of my closest friends, it saddens me that she’s been taken too soon in such a tragic way.
“You would never have thought this would happen here in such a small, quiet, market town.
“My thoughts are with her loved ones - rest in peace Charlotte.”
