Bouncy Castle Tragedy: Parents Pay Tribute To 'Our Beautiful Angel'

Bouncy Castle Tragedy: Parents Pay Tribute To 'Our Beautiful Angel'
|

The parents of seven-year-old Summer Grant, who died when the bouncy castle she was playing on blew away, have paid tribute to their "bright, beautiful and most loving little girl".

The seven-year-old died from multiple injuries at a fun fair after a strong gust of wind apparently swept the inflatable 150 metres across a park in Harlow, Essex, on Easter Saturday.

Cara Blackie, the girl's mother, said she was "truly heartbroken" in a tribute released by Essex police.

She said: "Words just can't explain how I am feeling right now, life is just truly cruel. Summer was a bright, beautiful and most loving little girl, it is so unfair that you have been taken, it just doesn't make sense.

Summer's father, Lee Grant, spoke of the whole family's shock, saying: "I never thought our beautiful angel would be taken away from us or that we would outlive her.

"She was the most happy, polite and beautiful girl in the world. I still can't come to terms she's not here.

"We all love you so so much, you will always be with us; love you to the moon and back, all our love Daddy, Mummy and family xxxx."

Detectives from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate would like to speak to anybody who has information or who took footage at the fun fair on Saturday.
