A 10-year-old girl and father tragically killed in a caravan fire have been named and pictured. A GoFundMe page set up to raise money for their family named the father and daughter as Lee Baker and Esme, who were described as "happy go-lucky people who loved life".

Emergency services were called to reports of a fire at Goldenbeach Holiday Park in Ingoldmells, Skegness, in the early hours of Saturday morning. The fundraiser set up by Paige Richmond said: "Unfortunately on the morning of the April 5, a fire broke out taking the lives of both father Lee and daughter Esme, just ten years old at their holiday home within Ingoldmells, Skegness. Lee and Esme were two peas in a pod, both happy go-lucky people who loved life. They were and forever remain adored by Genette, his oldest daughter Paige and anyone who had the pleasure of meeting them."

Lincolnshire Police confirmed an investigation into the tragedy is ongoing. 

It said in a statement released yesterday: "We are very sad to confirm that two people have died following a caravan fire at Goldenbeach Holiday Park, Roman Bank, Ingoldmells.

"We were called at 3.53 am today (April 5) to a report of a caravan fire at the holiday park where two people have tragically lost their lives. Their next of kin have been informed and will be supported by specially trained officers.

"Fire and rescue crews attended from Skegness, Wainfleet, Spilsby and Alford. There are two crews still at the scene and fire investigations are on-going.

"We have crime scene investigators on site, and we are carrying out inquiries to determine the exact cause of the fire. We are at the very early stages of our investigation and as such we are keeping an open mind."

The GoFundMe page said it will confirm the date for a charity event soon to "celebrate the life of these two individuals sadly lost far too early". All contributions will be paid to Lee and Esme’s family.

At the time of writing, more than £3,000 has been donated.
