At the time of going to press 87 people had raised more than £1,400 in the space of a day by donating to the site, which has been created by Kyle Shipstone. The goal is to raise £5,000.

The family wrote: “We have set up this page in memory of Mary Shipstone who was tragically murdered by her father.

“Please give as much or as little as you can spare and help us leave a lasting tribute to such a special little girl. Please share and help us reach our goal.”

Touching messages were left from school friends. Others left words of support for mum Lyndsey.

One moving comment read “Death leaves a heartache no-one can heal, love leaves a memory no-one can steal. Sleep sweet amongst the angels princess.”
