The family of missing Blackpool teenager Charlene Downes are to unveil a bench in her memory this weekend.

The former St George's High School pupil went missing on November 1, 2003, when aged 13, and has not been seen since.

Her family, including mum Karen and dad Robert, are to unveil the bench, near the visitors centre in Stanley Park, at 1pm on Sunday.

One man went on trial for her murder and another for disposing of the body, but they were cleared of all charges after a trial at Preston Crown Court.
