An appeal set up in the memory of teenager Jasmine Morris has raised more than £9,000 in a day.

More than 180 people, many anonymous, have donated money to help her grief-stricken family following Jasmine's death. She was struck by a train at Swanley railway station last Wednesday.

Among those paying tributes to her on a GoFundMe page was her former teacher Natasha Davison.

She said: "I taught Jasmine in Year 6 at St Mary's CE Primary school. She was such a beautiful, kind-hearted member of the class of 2014. I will remember all the special memories I had with Jasmine. She will be never be forgotten."

The page was set up yesterday by Eleanor Wall with a goal of raising £6,000. Within 24 hours it had been pledged £9,056.

Ms Wall said: "Our family is heart-broken beyond words. We have lost the most precious, beautiful talented, funny, most caring and kind-hearted princess ever at just 16.

"We are setting up this page to raise money to help my sister and her family give our beautiful Jasmine the best send-off that she deserves. She was truly loved by all who knew her."
