A rally held in Accrington yesterday (20th April 2013) by the National Union of Teachers in commemoration of Lucy Meadows was attended by around 100 people including Lucy's fellow teachers, parents and many of her pupils.
Organiser Debs Gwynn, the North West National Union of Teachers Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender representative, said: "This rally was called for two reasons - to allow the local community to show support and solidarity for what happened and to raise the issue of transphobia more widely.
"I have been talking to parents and pupils today and the kids were supportive of Lucy. And they are devastated that their teacher is now dead."
She added: "It was a great success, lots of people spoke at the end and they were keen to stress that they were there to support Lucy, her family and her colleagues.
