Many flowers, balloons, candles and other decorations were placed near where the body was found.

Police Scotland officers face a probe by a watchdog over their handling of Amber’s disappearance in the lead-up to her death.
Crown Office asked the Police Investigations and Review Commissioners (PIRC), to look into the attempts of police officers to find the teenager, who was found dead about 200 yards away from the spot she had been last seen in Hamilton on Cadzow Street.
PIRC will eventually turn their findings over to prosecutors.
Many flowers, balloons, candles and other items were all placed beneath a bridge right next to the site where her body was discovered.
