Their tribute read: “Grace was our beautiful, treasured and irreplaceable daughter, sister, aunt and friend. Grace had so much to look forward to in her young life, cut so unexpectedly short.

“As a child, Grace was a keen footballer and loved going out to the stables with her grandfather as they loved their horses. Grace loved so many things including music and was a talented guitarist and singer.

“Grace brought all the warmth of her personality to her songs. She was warm, funny, witty, kind and caring with so much love to give.

“Grace’s special love was for her younger siblings. She was devoted to them as well as her friend’s nieces, nephew and children.

“We are completely devastated. Our family and friends are heartbroken by the tragic loss of Grace.

“You were much loved and will be missed everyday for eternity. Fly high, our beautiful and amazing Grace”.

West Mercia Police say inquiries into Grace’s death are “ongoing”.
