Tributes have been left to a little girl who died after she was thrown from an inflatable trampoline at a busy tourist beach.
The youngster, who has not been named by police, was injured in Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk, on Sunday morning.
According to some eyewitness accounts, the inflatable exploded, flinging the girl into the air.
A growing number of teddy bears and bunches of flowers have been left against a metal perimeter fence encircling an area of the beach where the deflated inflatable was still in place on Monday morning.
A uniformed officer placed tributes brought to the scene behind police tape.
A second said: “Rest in paradise little one X”
Norfolk Police said officers were called to “reports a child had been thrown from an inflatable trampoline” at around 11.15am on Sunday.
A joint investigation between police, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and local council is under way.
