Tributes have been pouring in for a "much-loved" Irish schoolgirl who died on Sunday.
Lucy Doyle, who lived in Kilkenny city, passed away "unexpectedly" on January 2.
She was a sixth-year student at Presentation Secondary School, Kilkenny, who shared a heartwarming tribute to the "much-loved" pupil.
The school wrote: "It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the death of our much loved 6th year student, Lucy Doyle.
"Lucy's warm smile and charisma will be sorely missed by all in our school community.
"Our heartfelt sympathies are with the Doyle family and Lucy's friends and teachers at this very difficult time.
"May her gentle soul Rest in Peace
"Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam."
While a parent of another child at the school added: "I’m so sorry that you have had such a devastating loss. Lucy truly was a beautiful girl.
"You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you can find the strength to guide you through. Rest in peace Lucy."
And Lucy's "heartbroken" family have now confirmed that she will be laid to rest in a funeral mass on Friday.
A post on RIP.ie reads: "Lucy, cherished youngest daughter of Joe and Johanne and darling sister of James, Emma, Shane, Becky and Vicky, sadly missed by her heartbroken family, Kelly and Pegzey, godmother Mary, brothers-in-law Paul and Sean, sister-in-law Becca, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, extended family, neighbours, her schoolmates and teachers at the Presentation Secondary School and a wide circle of friends.
