Memorial event today (Friday) for Amelia Wood
Amelia, who tragically died at the age of 11 after being hit by a wheel from a passing Land Rover earlier this week, was a popular and much-loved member of the Louth Academy community - with hundreds of tributes having already flooded in on social media.
Crowds are expected to gather at a park near Louth Academy’s North Campus this afternoon at 3.30pm for the memorial gathering.
