Now, tributes have begun to appear on the railings close to the scene of the tragedy, which happened at 4.30pm on Sunday.

Four bunches had been lovingly attached close to one another to the white railings yesterday, which stand atop the concrete barrier which separates the road from a grassy slope in front of a row of homes.

One carried the simple, but moving message: “RIP Nanan Brenda. Love you.”

Further along the railings, another, single bunch of yellow blooms had been left.
