Richard Attenborough's granddaughter dies in tsunami

School remembers tsunami victim

Teachers at a school attended by the grandchild of Lord Attenborough have
spoken of their sadness at her death in the earthquake disaster in Thailand.
Lucy Holland, 14, who lived in London, was a pupil at The King's School in
Canterbury, Kent.

She had been staying with her family in Phuket when the beach resort was hit by
the earthquake in the Indian Ocean.

Teachers described Lucy as a vivacious and talented girl of great spirit and
style who had a wide circle of friends.


A statement said her death had shocked and greatly saddened the whole school.

Lucy's mother Jane, the elder daughter of the actor and film director, is
missing presumed dead after the disaster, as is her paternal grandmother, Jane
Holland.

Lucy's 17-year-old sister Alice survived, but is in a serious condition in a
hospital in Singapore.

Her father Michael and brother Sam were unhurt.
