Thousands of people have paid respect to Coleen Rooney's sister Rosie McLoughlin, who died at the age of 14 on Saturday.

Coleen, who is the wife of Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, set up a Facebook page with her family in memory of Rosie, who suffered from a rare genetic brain disorder known as Rett syndrome.

The tribute page has so far received 55,423 'likes' by Facebook users and a hoard of messages to the McLoughlin family expressing their sadness over the teenager's passing.

Rosie died at home surrounded by her family.
