Friends' tribute to bus crash victim, 17

Friends of school bus crash victim Natasha Paton, yesterday celebrated her life, one day after what would have been her 18th birthday.

Mourners wore brightly coloured clothes and specially made hoodies as they gathered to say their final farewells.

The 17-year-old died after a coach carrying 39 pupils and five members of staff from Lanark Grammar School lost control, hit a bridge and plunged into a river near Biggar during a snowstorm.
