A seven-year-old girl randomly stabbed to death in a park was "a ray of sunshine" who lit up a room with her smile, her teachers have said.
Emily Jones was attacked by a stranger in Queen's Park, Bolton, on Sunday March 22 and died a short time later. A 30-year-old woman was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder.
She was detained under the Mental Health Act and remains in a high-security facility. An inquest into Emily's death was opened on Wednesday and adjourned to July 3.
Her parents, who had taken her to the park on Mother's Day, said they were "beyond devastated" at the loss of their daughter who was "always full of joy, love and laughter".
