The eight year old schoolgirl tragically killed when a tree collapsed in high winds on her school playground yesterday afternoon has been named as Rianna Davenport.
Rianna was trapped by the tree and died at the scene around 12.30pm at West Ashtead Primary School, Epsom in Surrey.
Another child trapped suffered a broken leg, and two other children were slightly hurt.
A health and safety enquiry will be started, though police are treating the incident as a tragic accident.
