Devastated loved ones of tragic Lexi Carmichael have raised over £1,500 for her funeral.

Lexi, 21, vanished after leaving the Counting House pub near George Square in Glasgow city centre , just after 11pm on December 11.

Officers searching for her confirmed the body of a woman had been pulled from the River Clyde on January 6.

Lexi's loved ones were informed of the tragic discovery.

Friends have rallied round to raise money for Lexi's funeral through a Go Fund Me page.

Friend Nicole Scott, who created the fundraiser, posted a heartbreaking tribute to the 21-year-old, who's been described as 'bubbly and kind'.

She wrote: Where do we begin, we are here to talk about our dear friend Lexi Carmichael and her story.

"She was a beautiful, funny, bubbly 21-year-old who loved a party and loved to be loved by others.

"She was always kind and would be there for anyone that needed her, however she suffered from mental heath amongst other issues.

"Her family and friends have been left absolutely devastated.



"Over the past few weeks there have been many services that have assisted and contributed to help find Lexi.

"To these people we are forever grateful."

Nicola continued: "We have set up this page to help contribute to the cost of Lexi's funeral.

"We want to help give her the send-off she truly deserves as she was such a special person who always knew how to put a smile on your face.

"She would light up every room she entered with her bubbly personality and contagious smile.

"Lexi will be missed terribly by everyone who had the pleasure of meeting her.
