Groups of young friends wearing pink clung to one another as they tearfully celebrated the life of a Sheffield girl who died while on holiday.
Cherish Bean, 15, of Parson Cross, was found dead along with her boyfriend, Ethan Slater, 17, from Shiregreen, at a holiday park in Bridlington last month.
The pair are suspected to have died due to a carbon monoxide poisoning while on holiday with family.
Crowds lined the streets around her home as the funeral cortege made its way to Ecclesfield Church this morning.
High Street, close to Ecclesfield Church, was lined with people paying their respects to Cherish and her family.
One griever, Cheryl Anderson, 54, said: “It is a tragedy… everyone here is devastated, my thoughts are with the family.”
People were wearing pink clothes and ribbons to mark their support and the street, lampposts and cars were also decorated with pink balloons and bows.
The church had a sombre yet loving atmosphere, where you could see many local residents, friends and family gathering to comfort each other.
The procession was led by a car carrying floral tributes, followed closely by a horse-drawn-carriage carrying Cherish’s casket.
Mourners clapped as the procession passed them on High Street.
Lucy Jones, 31, who came out to pay her respects said: “I’m crushed, you can really see the impact this has had on the entire community.”
Another resident, Steve Chapman, 68 said: “It is heart-breaking, truly truly heart-breaking.”
Following the service, Cherish was laid to rest at Shiregreen Cemetery.
Cherish was described by loved ones as a “fashion icon”, known for always “perfectly” coordinating her outfits, from her shoes to her handbags and accessories.
As part of the ongoing police investigation, four men arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter were questioned and later released on bail.
Cherish’s mum, Devon Bean, said the final conversation they shared is something she will never forget.
The teenager had complained to her mum of a headache before she went to bed in a neighbouring lodge.
Cherish and Ethan were part of a group of 24 people – seven adults and seventeen children – on a getaway when tragedy struck.
They had been sleeping in a small cabin known as the “man cave”, just a few metres from the main lodge where the rest of the family were staying. Throughout the trip, the space had been used by many of the children.
Paying tribute to her daughter, Ms Bean said: “My girl, my world, my love, my everything.
“My perfect girl, my angel, has left this world and we are broken as a family. I am broken as a mother, and I will never ever be the same again.”
