Around 500 people turned out to keep a candlelit vigil in memory of Georgia Mann.

The 15-year-old was hurt in an accident shortly before midnight on Wednesday when the Audi A1 car in which she was a passenger was involved in a collision with a Volkswagen Caddy van.

It happened on the Sheppey-bound slip road of the A249 at Bobbing, near Sittingbourne, and she died on Friday morning.

The evening vigil at the Gore Field, Grove Park, on Friday was organised by three of her friends: Marshal Packer, Lewis Frattini-Bratton and Kieran Gambell.

Georgia's brother Charlie Mann said: "There were lots of Georgia's friends from school, their families, my family, and just lots of people from the community.

"The sympathy we've had from everyone has been amazing."

Earlier in the day, friends and well-wishers had been laying bouquets and fastening balloons at an impromptu memorial to Georgia by the side-wall of the cricket club.

A GoFundMe page set up by Georgia's sister, Sammy Louise Law, to pay for her funeral and a memorial has already reached more than £14,000 with over 900 people contributing.

Georgia a pupil at Westlands Secondary School was left in a critical condition after the crash.

She was taken to London's King's College Hospital, but died on Friday morning.

Simon Cox, head teacher of Westlands Secondary School, said an assembly with Georgia's year group will be held tomorrow morning when pupils return from half term, and ongoing support will be available for those affected by the tragedy.
