Her parents and sister Farrah Rose gathered at the late Toy Show star's grave to honour her on her thirteenth birthday.

Her heartbroken parents said there are no words to describe how hard today was for them.

Saoirse's mum said: "There are no words for today. It was every emotion you could think of."

"We talked for weeks about what we should do not being able to come up with anything solid and in the end it was what it was meant to be, what we were able for."

"We visited you to greet you good morning and Happy Birthday before coming home again to sit with your loss," they wrote.

Her family sent 13 balloons up to heaven to mark Saoirse's special birthday.

They wrote: "We sent 13 balloons up to heaven and we hope you got them all."

Her mum said Farrah Rose is "so excited picturing you on the receiving end with that massive smile and giggle."

Her parents said they feel "so wronged" without Saoirse here to celebrate her special day.

"We feel so wronged today," they added.
