Hayley Okines, a campaigner whose illness caused her to age eight times faster than average, has died at the age of 17.

Okines, from Bexhill, in East Suss-x, became known as the "100-year-old teenager" as the rapid aging condition Progeria meant her body was the equivalent age of a centenarian when she was just 14.

I remember watching a documentary on her and her condition a few years ago, her story was very eye opening to loads of people :( May she rest in peace
