Family and friends have gathered to pay tribute to a mother and daughter who both died in recent days.

Casey Hood, 18, lost her life in a crash in Womenswold on Friday, September 14.

Another woman, 27-year-old Lucy Leadbeater, was also seriously injured in the accident and died the following day.

Just days later Casey's mother, Natalie Hood, who lived in Dover, died after posting on Facebook: "I just want my little girl back xxx."

Now well-wishers, including Casey's pals from Canterbury High School, have gathered to pay tribute to their lives by releasing balloons.

As the light faded at Toddler's Cove Playground in Canterbury, dozens of people gathered to release balloons.

Chinese lanterns were also released by those who knew the family.

Tributes have been left to her on Facebook, with many people posting on the profile of Mrs Hood's daughter Kellis, Casey's twin sister.
