More than 100 bouquets of flowers have now been left as a whole community gathered to grieve outside the gates of Minehead Middle School after the fatal bus crash.

Dozens of children, mums, dads, grandparents and locals were seen crying as they laid flowers on the gates of the school.

Relatives and friends hugged as they read the tributes left to those involved in the crash - with some describing it as a "sombre day". "

Cards, flowers and cuddly toys have lined

the street outside the school as the community rallied together to show support.

One card reads: "RIP. We sure are going to miss your infectious smile. Shine bright angel. Thinking of your family, much love." "

One family left a small blue cuddly toy of a seal with a tag around its neck which said: "dear friend. Nothing you ever done in the world would lead you to deserve this. I love performing in The Regal (a local theatre) and will dedicate all my shows to you"

Another simply read: "Gone too soon". "

One card says: "Thinking of everyone at this heart breaking and devastating time. Our community is holding you all tight and surrounding you with love."

Another read: ""Our hearts are broken but we stand strong to support you at this most difficult time."

"RIP little one, fly high with the angels."

Among those arriving to pay tribute was Karin White who said: "It's a bit of a shock. We know the area where the coach tumbled over the hill. From the aerial view you can see it's all wooded and it's terrible. "

Meghan White also said from the scene: "I used to travel there daily to go to work. It's easy to forget how steep it is down the side of the banks."
She knows one of the adults who was on the bus but she said they are ok.

"I was very shocked. I reached out to all my friends and family and people who go to the school just to see if they had anyone involved and if they need any help."

"It's incredible that everyone has came out to pay tribute. "
