The Little Superstar bee will now b be taken to be put on display in Manchester, but will return to the school as a permanent memorial to S Saffie in September.
A spokesperson for Tarleton Community Primary School said: “When designing the bee, we were really consious that we wanted it to represent Saffie in the right way. At h her funeral, her dad said that he wanted her to be famous, so the Little Superstar bee was born.
“The bee is due to fly back to Manchester for the exhibition this week and will return to school in September when it will become a permanent memorial to Saffie – Tarleton’s very own little superstar.”
