Kiena Dawes: hundreds of floral tributes laid close to family home of mum-of-one who died after being hit by a train in Garstang

Flowers have been left near to the family home of Kiena Dawes, a 23-year-old mum of one who died after being hit by a train in Garstang.

Kiena, who hailed from Lytham St Annes, died on Friday on a stretch of track close to Garstang. She leaves her nine-month-old daughter, Marnie.

Her brother Kynan Dawes wrote on Facebook: "Kiena was in such a bad place in her head. She took the decision to end what was an awful battle in her life."

He said many well-wishers had been asking where to leave flowers and asked them to do so on railings in Carlyle Avenue, Blackpool, opposite the home of Kiena's mother.

A crowdfunder has also been set up to help care for little Marnie.

These are some of the pictures at the scene in Blackpool where well-wishers have been laying floral tributes to Kiena, who attended Lytham St Annes High School.
