A 19-year-old children's party entertainer was killed in a lorry crash on her way to a theatre performance.
Rosa Taylor, who dressed up as different princesses to perform for young children was tragically killed in Wiltshire when a lorry smashed into the car she was in.
The crash happened on the A4 Bath Road at around 1.30pm on Thursday killing the 'real life princess' from Upholland, Lancashire, and seriously injuring a male passenger and female driver.
Rosa 'lived for the stage' and was on her way to star in a production of the Beggars Belief Collective production of SCRUMPTIOUS! on the day of the accident.
She was studying at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts and was due to begin a course at Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London in September.
In a heartbreaking tribute her father Gareth Taylor said: 'Anyone who knew Rosa would agree that she was the most beautiful person inside and out.
'She was the very definition of a spirit that shines brightly and dies young, loved by anyone who met her.
'She was at once the most talented, most beautiful, and most loving soul I've ever known.'

Alongside her studies she worked for PICK'N'MIX Parties in Liverpool - they have set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for Rosa's family.
The organiser, Kelly Bryant-Cunningham, wrote: 'Rosa tragically passed away on Thursday 24th July in a RTC out of our city - on her way to doing what she does best - performing (not PNMP related).
'A gift she had that we were all so lucky to have witnessed. She performed for so many children of Liverpool during her time with PICK'N'MIX, giving them the birthday they deserved and now its our turn to do it for our Rosa.
'Rosa was a shining star, so full of life, love and talent. A real life princess who had a passion for dancing, singing and acting. She will forever be part of our PICK'N'MIX family.
'Rosa - your laughter, your kindness and your spirit will stay with us forever. Forever loved, forever cherished, forever 19.'
