Brave cancer girl gives her family a Christmas to remember - from beyond the grave

A kind-hearted girl who lost her brave battle with cancer has given her family some Christmas cheer - by sending them surprise gifts from the grave.

Tragic Lily-Mae McKinstry died in November from a rare a brain tumour after months of putting up a brave fight.

The loss of their beloved 10-year-old hit parents Andrew and Vicki hard, but the couple were stunned when they began to receive mysterious Christmas presents through the post from their late daughter.

The family, from Chelmsford in Essex, later discovered that Lily had sneakily brought Christmas presents for her entire family just weeks before her death.
