A 12-year-old girl who was killed by a falling tree branch has been pictured.
Brooke was walking along a footpath with friends in Banstead, Surrey at 4pm Saturday when the branch fell on her.
She was given CPR after about a dozen residents from a nearby traveller estate tried to move the tree but was declared dead by emergency services.
A GoFundMe raising money for Brooke’s funeral has pictured the teenager for the first time.

‘On Saturday 9th of November, our family’s life changed forever when we lost our beautiful Brooke to a tragic accident,’ the fundraiser says.
‘A mum lost a daughter, a brother lost a big sister and a family lost a shining light in our lives that will never be replaced.’
More than £5,400 has been chipped in so far, with donors describing the youngster as ‘beautiful’.
‘Going to miss you loads. So sorry this happened to you. Fly high,’ wrote Rochelle Dyer.
