The devastated family of a teenage girl from Bolton who died after battling a mystery illness have paid tribute to her.

Popular Cygaya Seaton was described by grieving relatives as "one-of-a-kind" with an infectious laugh and warm smile who always had time for anyone.

The 17-year-old from Burnden died in the intensive care unit of the Royal Bolton Hospital surrounded by her loved ones after six weeks fighting a lung condition which has left doctors baffled.

Hundreds of mourners are expected to attend the funeral of the popular former Bolton College student at the Bolton Parish Church in Churchgate on Friday at 11.15am.
