A garden in memory of murdered Rotherham teenager Leonne Weeks will be opened this week.

The tribute to the 16-year-old will be opened at the Jade Youth and Community Centre in Dinnington on Friday, July 19 at 11am.

Leonne was stabbed to death in an alleyway in the village by Shea Heeley two years ago.
