Eastbourne LGBTQ+ group holds vigil for Brianna Ghey

Brianna Ghey was found stabbed to death in a Warrington park on the afternoon of February 11. The transgender teen was found wounded on a path in Linear Park and died at the scene. A boy and girl, both 15, have been charged with her murder and will be on trial in July according to Cheshire Police.

Since then, people have gathered all over the country to pay tribute to Brianna.
