Nicky Marshall, landlady of the Stag Hotel in Lyndhurst, where Lily worked, said she had been in the pub last night with Abbey.

She said: "She was here last night.

“They were getting a lift home.

“We're devastated, absolutely devastated. Everybody knew her.

“She was here all the time. She was a full time nanny and worked here in the evening.

"She was a lovely girl, full of energy. It's awful.

“Abbey was a lovely girl. They were really good friends. We let her go early so that they could continue the evening with her friends.

"We were meant to be doing the fancy dress today but I don't think we will be doing that now.

"She was always helping me out. She was a good girl, full of life, but she was also sensible.

“I could trust her to look after the pub. She was everything you would want in a daughter. I can't believe she's gone.

"She was going to be wearing a reindeer outfit today for Christmas."
