LIBERTY Baker’s family and friends gathered at her grave yesterday to mark what would have been her 15th birthday.
Dad Paul, 46, and Liberty’s younger brother Finley, 10, joined with some of her oldest friends at Tower Hill Cemetery in Witney, to celebrate her life.
The Henry Box School pupil died on June 30 when she was knocked down by a car which mounted the kerb on Curbridge Road.

Mr Baker said: “To see so many people here is really touching and it shows how popular Liberty was.
“It is one of those milestones and one of those things we were not really looking forward to. The big one is Christmas. It was the one Liberty enjoyed the most.”
An 18-year-old man from Bampton was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and has been rebailed until November 8.
