Throughout her life Natasha Coombs lit up the lives of her family and friends with her magical smile, bright eyes and beautiful personality.

Today the 17-year-old's parents Gary and Joanne were due to be joined by many of those whose lives she touched at a funeral service to celebrate a wonderful life which ended so prematurely.

Natasha's death has devastated the close-knit communities of Dovercourt and Brantham, where the Coombs family had lived previously, and today those communities were coming together to support each other in dealing with their overwhelming pain.

One of the tributes issued to the tragic teen, who went missing on July 27 after a night out in Ipswich and is thought to have died after being hit by a train close to Manningtree station, said: “Her smile is embedded in my mind. God has one special angel.”
