Millie’s aunt, Amy Burrows, said of the William Robertson Academy sixth former: “Millie was an incredibly warm-hearted young lady, who cared endlessly about the world we live in, and on her 18th birthday she wished for people to donate to The Ocean Cleanup, rather than receiving presents.”

The event was held at the Agra restaurant in Sleaford, raising £2,150 for the Ocean Cleanup charity and Amy, who co-organised the event explained: “The purpose was not only to remember Millie’s kindness and generosity, but to help raise awareness about the effectplastic pollution has on our oceans and marine life. The Agra kickstarted the evening with a fantastic buffet, the food was delicious and the staff were amazing. Livewire DJ and Karaoke added to the wonderful atmosphere.”
