THE distraught father of Creamfields car crash victim Dominique Williams released a dove in his daughter’s memory at a remembrance service for road accident victims.

The 20-year-old performing arts student was killed after the vehicle she was travelling in turned over and hit a lamppost as she travelled with friends to the music festival on Saturday morning.

Just over 48 hours after her sudden death, her grieving family and dozens of her friends yesterday attended a remembrance service at Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral.

It was organised by charity Roadpeace to mark the 12th anniversary of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, and remember other road accident victims.

As the emotional service drew to a close, Dominique’s father, named by family friends as Philip Williams, stood on the Rankin Steps in front of the cathedral with eight other people.

Wearing dark sunglasses, he was handed a symbolic white dove, which he released into the sky in his daughter’s memory.

His wife, Lesley, and their sons, Liam and Danny, broke down as the birds were freed.

They had sobbed and clutched hands throughout the ceremony.

The family, who were hugged and comforted by relatives and friends, were too upset to talk after the moving ceremony, but many of Dominique’s friends paid tribute to her.

Struggling to control his tears, Mark Lamb, 23, of Maghull, said: “We wanted to come today to show our support for her family and show how much we all loved her.

“She was one of a kind and she had one of the biggest smiles you have ever seen.”

Childhood friends Melanie Jones and Amanda Newcombe, both 21, of Maghull, described how Dominique had “lived life to the full”.

They told how the talented former Deyes High School pupil was studying performing arts at Edge Hill University, in Ormskirk, and worked part-time at a clothing shop in Maghull.

Melanie said: “They say live life to the full – well, that girl could not have lived hers any better.

“She had the best life.”
