The accident a claimed the life of  Pilgrim, 19, left another 19-year-old, Jalisa Clement, fighting for her life at the Queen Elizbeth Hospital.

The group carried candles and balloons, softly sang hymns and offered the grieving support as they remembered a loving neighbour, friend, cousin, sister and daughter.

Sobs and wails were heard especially from Jasqueline Pilgrim the mother of the deceased.
