The family of a teenage girl killed in a canoeing accident say the tragedy has left them "feeling numb".
Emergency services raced to a spot on the River Tweed in the Scottish Borders on Monday afternoon after the alarm was raised.
A search operation was launched but the body of a girl, 15, was sadly pulled from the water a short time later, police said.
It has since emerged that the teen's family run a café in nearby Kelso, which has a notice up in the window today.
According to Radio Borders, it reads: "For the next few days the café will not be opening.

Water rescue teams joined police, fire and ambulance services after reports of a person in difficulty at around 3:30pm.
Helicopters were also scrambled to the location on the 97-mile river.
Locals say two people were canoeing on the river when an accident happened, leaving one person trapped on a rock.
DI Alistair Sellar, of Police Scotland, said enquiries into the incident are "ongoing".
"Emergency services attended and a rescue operation was launched," he said.
"A 15-year-old girl was recovered from the water a short time later.
"Her family are aware. Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of the incident.
"A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal."
Local reports suggest that the part of the river where tragedy struck is known to be challenging.
The Tweed flows east across the Scottish Borders region and northern England.
It is popular with anglers for its salmon and with canoeists for its beautiful scenery.
