Community Turns out for Gosport teenage

A Gosport teenager who was forced to miss out on her own prom due to bullies did end going to a ball of her own. An appeal for riders to escort 16-year-old Shannon Purcifer to her very own prom, posted by Graham Cott, saw hundreds turn out to escort her to St Vincent College. Shannon, who suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, coeliac disease and ulcerative colitis, was most certainly the belle of the ball yesterday! Picture: Zoomin Photography
