Hundreds honour ‘much-loved’ teacher killed before Christmas

Hundreds of mourners have gathered for the funeral of Amy Appleton, one of two women tragically killed in a small village days before Christmas. The much-loved teacher was described as a “rock” by her family and her death left pupils at Copthorne Church of England Junior School in mourning. About 100 people had to stand outside the chapel and watch the service on TV screens because there was not enough room inside. Ms Appleton, 32, and Sandy Seagrave, 76, were killed in Crawley Down, West Sussex, on December 22 2019 in an attack that left the close community shocked and saddened.
