An eight-year-old girl who died after a car crash at a school in Wimbledon has been named in the loving tributes laid by community members.
The girl has been named as “Selena” in the many flowers and tributes that have been placed along the entrance to the school.
A police cordon was no longer in place on Friday when a woman wearing a blue sling around her arm visited the scene and left flowers in a box and a card.
She paused to look at the flowers and was consoled by a man she was with.
She left a note at the scene saying: “Dear Selena, you will always be our shining star. We will miss you so much.”
The note included a picture of a star and had kisses on it.

A local teacher, who did not want to be named, told the PA news agency: “A friend of mine has friends who have children who go to the school.
“She said they have all kinds of broken bones including a broken pelvis.
“I’m a teacher and I’m a mother and it could have happened to us. It could have happened to anybody.”
The school said in a statement that it was “profoundly shocked” by what happened A statement on its website added: “Our thoughts are with the bereaved family and with the families of those injured at this terrible time.
“It is still far too soon to fully understand what happened, but we are well aware of the significant impact this dreadful event will have on our pupils and their families.

Faiza Samad, who did not give her age, told reporters it is an end-of-term tradition to have a picnic at the school.
Her daughter Rania, 12, finished at the primary school last year.
Ms Samad said: “When it happened yesterday all the mums were texting.
“My friend, her daughter was in Year Two.
