Thousands of daisies made in memory of young fundraiser
A crocheting world record has been broken in memory of a teenager from Chilcompton in Somerset who died last year.
14-year-old Emma Welch had scoliosis - a spine condition - herself but started fundraising for Brain Tumour Research after being inspired by her minister, Andy Stammers, who has a tumour.
She climbed Mount Snowdon to break the world record for the largest teddy bear's picnic on a mountain summit. Soon after she underwent routine surgery but suffered a heart attack.
Medics were forced to operate on her by torchlight because there were no spare beds in theatre.
Emma's best friend at school, Victoria Roberts hit on the idea of making crocheted daisies - which was Emma's middle name. Thanks to the power of social media daisies were sent in from across the world.
31,082 crocheted daisies were made in her honour, smashing the previous record of 13,388 items.
The daisies were displayed in egg trays at the Forum in Bath on the first anniversary of Emma's death.
The team also attempted to break the record for the number of people crocheting at the same time. 428 turned up from age 6 to 86 but it didn't make the 485 target, set in Nigeria.
Norton Hill School is holding a memorial day for Emma on Friday 17 June and Victoria and her friends are selling daisies for students to wear on the day.
Family and friends will also be yarn-bombing outside the school the day before.
