Her doting parents, who are expecting twins later this year, added: “Robyn was the best thing to happen to both of us.

“Her sassy attitude made her into the little diva she is, it provided her with so much personality and confidence.
“She was the strongest little person we ever met, right until the very last second. We hope we can carry that strength with us.”

Fundraising efforts for the family have reached almost £14,000 to help give Robyn the send-off she deserves.
