The parents of Millie Wright, who died in 2021, say they felt 'deep grief, hurt and trauma'.

A teenager's family have been left distraught after vandals destroyed a tree planted in her memory.Her parents planted the red chestnut tree on Old Poppleton village green, where she used to play with friends, as a lasting tribute last year.

Millie, who was described as a "fun-loving" and "hilarious" teenager, was diagnosed with aplastic anaemia after being struck down with liver failure..Instead of having a gravestone for Millie, her parents and three older brothers chose to plant the tree on what would have been her 14th birthday in May last year.

The tree, which had a memorial plaque next to it, was "a place where we as a family could go and reflect," her father Nigel said."Somewhere quiet, somewhere peaceful. And that had been the case right up until last night."
