Friends and family of tragic teenager Megan Bell, who died at T in the Park, will hold a clifftop vigil in her honour.

The 17-year-old died after collapsing in the festival’s Slam tent on Thursday night.

Another reveller Peter MacCallum, also 17, was found in the campsite shortly afterwards.

This week, people in Megan’s home town of Seaham, in County Durham, will gather on the seafront to celebrate her life.

They planned to light candles and release balloons into the sky.

The vigil has been organised by friend Laura Ward, who has also set up an online fundraising campaign to help support Megan’s family.

The Flowers for Megan site was originally launched to raise £300, but has already made nearly £1,600.

Laura, 28, said: “I just felt like I wanted to do something, so I started the page.

“People said they wanted to donate to the family.”

She said: “It’s such a tragedy and I want to make sure they have all the support they can get.

“It’s just heart-wrenching.”

Laura said the vigil on Thursday from 7pm will be open to all. “It will be a celebration of her life and a chance to say goodbye.”

Tributes have also been paid to Peter, who was from Lochgilphead, Argyll.

A spokesman for football film-making group Pingittt, which Peter was involved in, said: “We lost one of our most beloved friends Peter MacCallum.

“We didn’t manage to spend much time with him in the passing months, but our friends are all very devastated. Peter and his family have already been through a pretty rough time of recent and we cant imagine how their closest friends and family are dealing with his passing.”

He added: “A true inspiration and a massive loss to the community.”

Police are continuing to investigate the deaths, which are believed to be drug related.

Enquiries are still ongoing into allegations an 18-year-old woman was raped on the campsite in the early hours of Friday morning.

There have been deaths in previous years at the festival, which moved to its new Strathallan Castle site last year.

A 36-year-old man was found dead in the toilets in 2015, and a 24-year-old man collapsed and died during the night in 2010.
