A HEARTBREAKING birthday tribute has been set up for two sisters outside the family home in which they lost their lives during a devastating firebomb attack.
The front porch of the Pearson home, in Walkden, Salford, has been transformed to wish late Demi and Lia – who would be 16 and 4 respectively – a happy birthday.
They lost their lives in an arson attack alongside brother Brandon, eight, and seven-year-old sister Lacie.
And to pay tribute to their memory, family, neighbours and friends have adorned the metal shutters with the birth tribute which includes floral tributes, pink and blue ribbons, birthday cards and balloons.
The youngsters are now known as the “Walkden Little Angels” among locals who have been left shocked by the horror of the attack.
Their mother Michelle was also left critically ill and remains in hospital.
Over the weekend locals released balloons to mark the birthdays.
Their grandmother, Sandra Lever, wrote on Facebook: “Would like to say thank you to everyone who turned up at Michelle house tonight to release balloons for Demi 16th birthday and Lia 4th birthday.
“Michelle would of been proud of everyone thank you xxx.”
Evil Zak Bolland, 23, launched the cowardly attack after being involved in a petty feud with the victim’s 17-year-old brother Kyle Pearson, Manchester Crown Court heard.
Bolland, along with David Worrall, 25, removed a fence panel from the garden of Michelle Pearson’s home before smashing a kitchen window and two lit petrol bombs were tossed inside at around 5am.
