Margot, who was two, had been battling leukaemia. Her family, who are originally from Essington in Staffordshire, made a worldwide appeal looking for a suitable bone marrow donor last October.

She underwent a transplant in February but the cancer returned. Earlier this month her family revealed she was "beyond rescue". In a post on Team Margot Facebook her family revealed she had an infection she was unable to fight.
