Billy Elliot the Forum

It is with great sadness that I have to inform the members that London Ballet Girl Charlotte Leatherbarrow has been knocked down and killed on her way to her dance class.

I have no more information at the moment but will post any updates when I get them.

I am sure you will join me in sending our deepest condolences to her family.

No no no no. There aren't really any words to describe how unfair and tragic it is that something like this should happen to such a young child. My thoughts go out to the whole Billy family who are grieving but most of all to the girls family who I know will be devastated at the moment.

I have just read this sad news on aol and was shocked.So so sad.My thoughts and deepest sympathy are with her family and friends who must be totally devastated and shocked at this time.

Here are the details of yesterday's tragic accident from the Guardian:
