Sophie Lancaster
 

From Wiki:

"The Murder of Sophie Lancaster was a murder case in the United Kingdom in 2007. The victim, along with her boyfriend, Robert Maltby, was attacked by a number of males in their late teens while walking through Stubbylee Park in Bacup, Rossendale in Lancashire. As a result of her severe head injuries she went into a coma, never regained consciousness, and later died. The police said the attack may have been provoked by the couple's wearing gothic fashion and being members of the goth subculture.

On 13 January 2009, it was announced that the Bloodstock Open Air festival were to rename their second stage to The Sophie Lancaster Stage in tribute and to promote the S.O.P.H.I.E. Campaign. The second stage again carried the name of The Sophie Lancaster Stage in 2010.

On the 26 November 2009, which would have been Lancaster's 23rd birthday, a 4 minute animation based on the murder was released onto the internet and shown on MTV. The film was also projected onto a screen in the Cathedral Gardens in Manchester."

This thread is basically a place to pay your respect and share anything you did in rememberance of her (e.g wearing the wristband).

I went to high school with her, she was in a couple of years above

Sorry, I was looking at the wrong forum when I posted it. If a Moderator could move it to the appropriate forum, that'd be great.
