Lucy’s family and friends joined teachers and staff at Chatsmore Catholic High School, Worthing, to remember Lucy and pay their respects to the bright former pupil, who died of a brain tumour last year, aged 16.
Speaking to the Herald after the ceremony, Lucy’s mum, Antonella Goulding, said: “I felt like choking as soon as I saw the garden because I felt my Lucy was missing. Chatsmore has been amazing and has helped to counteract all the hardship and pain.
