THE death of an Oxfordshire schoolgirl has sparked a social media trend to keep her “wonderful, infectious” spirit alive.

Megan Biddle, a student at Lord Williams’s School in Thame, died on Monday. It is understood the 18-year-old’s death was connected with migraine medication but there is no suspicion it was intentional.

Friends have created the Twitter hashtag #thingsbiddid, using Megan’s nickname Bid, to tell the world about their “amazing” friend.

Lauren Allardyce tweeted: “Buying me the best wristband ever for my birthday #thingsbiddid.” Richard Goodall wrote: “Wearing a jumper on a boiling Christmas day in Florida.RIP you gorgeous thing – far too young.#thingsbiddid”.

The Year 13 pupil lived in Thame with parents Iain and Alison and younger brother Jack.

Jack posted on Twitter: “An amazing, joking and caring sister, to the last minute and forever.”

Milkshake stall MooMoos in the Covered Market, Oxford, tweeted: “#thingsBiddid managed to get free shakes every time she came in yet still filled in about 10 loyalty cards.”

Friends at Lord Williams’s went into school this week wearing her trademark black jeans, plaid shirt and beanie hat in tribute.

And a graffiti tag at Thame’s Southern Road recreation ground saying ‘RIP Megan Biddle’ has been protected by Thame Town Council, which covered the message with a board for friends to write tributes on.

One message, signed ‘Hannah’, reads: “You managed to be friends with everyone, no matter how long you knew them for. Always the smiliest girl around ready to give anyone a cuddle whenever they needed one. Thank you Megan.”

Another message said: “Your kindness had no price. I will live by your example.”

Family friend Peter Butt said the outpouring of support from Megan’s friends had been “incredible”.

He said: “She was a selfless girl, very outgoing, and she didn’t follow norms.

“She was a skater. She used to babysit for our children and she would often head off on her longboard.

She also liked her music, she steered my children away from Justin Bieber.”

Lord Williams’s headteacher David Wybron said the school was “deeply saddened and shocked” by the the news of Megan’s death.

Megan’s Head of Year Penny Lowe said: “Megan was a wonderful, outgoing and exceptionally popular member of Year 13, touching the lives of so many.

“She had an effervescent personality, a fantastic sense of fun and a great sense of humour.

“Her smile was infectious and could light up any room.”

She said Megan always found the positive in things, an attribute she brought “in abundance” to anything she turned her hand to.

She added: “Megan would always put others first; coming to the support of her friends whenever needed.

She was a creative and hardworking student who possessed a lively and imaginative mind.

“Her loss will be felt by so many and it has left such a huge hole not only within the year group but across the school. She will be greatly missed by staff and students alike.”
