  • I still remember hearing her story on the news. It was so sad and hurtful to hear. What a tragic end to a beautiful life. I think her family and friends are doing wonderful work to educate young people about alternative subcultures. She is very beautiful

  • It feels like yesterday after I saw this video .R.I.P. Sophie. It was a hate crime. I recovered from a coma so this makes me more upset. You will never be forgotten.

  • Rest in peace young soul god will take care of you now and i am happy for you bcuz u r in a better place now

  • bless her soul p;oor girl

  • r.i.p sophie,

  • Rest in peace Sophie.... Four years but not forgotten </3

  • the most hatefull person in the world with no feelings dislikes this video

  • It breaks my heart to know that things like this happen. I can't help but hate those fucks that killed her. I hope they live horrible lives till they change their ways. :(

    RIP Sophie.

  • i just found about this. in no way would i think people acted this low. i am terrible sorry she passed on such a note. and i do hope noone has to live of go through this again.

    i under stand how it feel to be singled out but as far as it getting to a point like this. i am honestly hurt and sad.

    dear sophie, i may have met you but i whish that you rest in peace.noone should have to live through something like such. love, allison<3

  • Apparently being yourself gets you killed. Society is so messed up.

    R.I.P Sophie :( 

  • it is hard not to feel anger , rage , towards the people who carried out this attack , but that will only continue the circle of violence . instead i pity them , in the worse possible way .

  • @ chesxs I do as well I cherish my SOPHIE band and all that it stands for and will be holding a memorial concert for her next year

  • why do terrible things happen to good people? why isn't it the other way round. it makes no sence. wot is with the justice system in this country!

  • If there is a God at all, will you please do us all a favour and recognise who the good people in this world are and who the bad people are. If there's a heaven, look after Sophie there. If there's a hell, send all the chavs there. Because they were the ones who did this.

    Rest in peace Sophie, you and your boyfriend didn't deserve any of this. I wear the S.O.P.H.I.E. ring with pride, and even though I'd have been dreadfully upset at the news of your murder, I wish I'd known you.

  • fuck u fuckin' fancy shits!

  • This is so heart breaking to who ever killed her i hope you burn in HELL!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DONT NEED TO LIVE IF YOU TOOK SOMEONES LIFE JUST FOR BEING DIFFERENT WHAT DID SHE EVER DO TO YOU

  • this is a really fucked up world if we can't even be ourselves..

    R.I.P. Sophie xx

  • She Will Be Forever With Us.. <3

  • got to say the DCD was layed over a bit heavy handed in this one.

  • I Hate this goddamn world.

    And this madness goes on.

  • sometimes I wish I was an animal ... it's just disgusting

  • stop fucking around asking names of song it pops up in the video God Damnit, ... my brother is different wears make-up nail polish all make shit and im scared that one day this will happen to him cause hes my big bro and i love him with all my heart hes the only in my life thats i can really relate too and if i lost him my heart would be broken into So many little pieces and imonly 12 and hes 16 if i lost him at his age now i would be sucha broken soul. R.I.P Sophie!

  • to those who beat sophie to death they may be free or not guilty as what they claim,but believe me ths will haunt you for life ,forever your soul will never be at peace..

  • @lena3573 : if only that were true. Some people do no thinking at all, before or after an event like this.

  • @lena3573 i would hope that would be the case my friend, but these type of people have no remorse infact they found it funny, they do infact deserve to die for what they have done, I think that would be the only thing that would be fair in this case. god dam chavs all i can say

  • I'm a emo/goth and when i go to high school im proboly gonna get picked on but the things that sophie and her boyfriend had to go through is just so terrible that i wanna go to the murderers and stab them 50 times slowly so thay can suffer like Sophie did!!!!!!!!

  • You don't realize that you are hating the person that commited the crime, and that is why there will never be peace, unless everyone changes. People do bad things, but how do you expect them to stop being hateful if you are hateful back?

  • @ladygagafan50 I feel so bad, in highschool i wasnt a goth or anything, but its just a group of friends u know. Yes u guys dress different, but u are people too. I hope im not sounding like a jackass but i respect u.

  • I've met Sylvia at Whitby, I had a nice talk with her. She was pleased to know that I wear my S.O.P.H.I.E. wristbands all the time.

  • Can I have the name of the song and the band to one of the songs the song i want starts at 3:26 on the video

  • The name of the song is "Illusion" and the band's name is VNV NATION!!! Yeah i know!!! It gives you the creeps, right?

  • Illusion from VNV Nation ...

    RIP Sophie.

    This world is fucked up.

  • "Alternative Magazine" -- Kerrang!.

    I read that issue. Highly moving. It made me sob my heart out.

    My boyfriend got beaten up by some stupid ignorant chavs once. He was defending me, they were going to turn on me, then he said "hit me instead". And so they did. Luckily, he survived.

    I hope they rot in hell.

    Rest in Peace, Sophie. x

  • there is a song that starts at about 2:30 i've heard it in a movie. does anyone know the name of it???

  • this wasnt fair. ive been beaten up for this shit before. its not fucking fair. stop discrimination. :( and rest in peace sophie! <3

  • im am a tattooed guy......i like to be tattooed ..i hope sophie is happy...to be differant is good....people look at me as if i am a nutter ,but i am a family guy with kids,,i am o.k...... fuck the boozed up idiots on the parks across the country who think they are tough guys ,,,they are nothing ,,only scum

  • sophie lancaster must've been an intelligent and kind hearted young lady

    she lost her life because of a few ignorant chavs

  • Rest In Peace Sophie xxxx

    We Love And Miss You x

    We honor your individuality xx

    A short life you did have but we will never forget you xx

    STOP PREDUJICE !!!

    BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN !!!

    with regards to sophies family and friends x

    <3

    peace out.

  • 100% respect to her, and I just hope that her murderers die soon, seeing as how the justice system is so weak, it didn't hang them straight away.

  • i dont think that should be,

    you see ,

    if her murderers die,

    they wont have grief,,

    they will stop having to deal with what theyve done

    i HATE people that are predujice :(

  • Totally disagree. These killers will have it easy, they will love that they killed someone. They will enjoy the attention and think that they are VIPs and worst of all they will come out of prison and continue doing the same bullying all over again.

    End their lives, end the problem. They would suffer in the moments before they die because they know they are about to truly pay for their crime!!!

  • i agree with what your saying but,, they wont pay really if theire dead it will stop them dealing with the guilt that will eat them alive and their minds will suffer painfully

    also,, if they die its kinda like saying its ok to kill,, 'a life for a life, a tooth for a tooth'

    also i hate the killers to pieces :@

    i love sophie we'll never forget you darling <3 x

  • I respect your opinion.

  • i respect your opinion 100 per cent,

    but i want her murders to SUFFER SUFFER SUFFER !

    in the worst possible way !! :'(

    xx

  • I just hope they will actually feel guilt at some point .... I'm just not sure about that, just look at what they did, their conscience must be really deep down hidden in a secret room to which they don't seem to have the key ... and that's IF they even have a conscience.

  • I do too :(

    but you know those ASSHOLES DONT have a conscience,,

    if they did they wunt have murdered someone they didnt know because they were a 'goth'

  • I Love You Sophie!!

    You Truly Are An Angel Too Soon!

    Peace,Love,and Empathy from kylemac34

  • The Subject of Sophie Lancaster has always been one that never fails to upset me. What happened to Sophie was disgraceful. I am also labelled as a goth and i also have been beaten up. But i just find it truly horrific what happened to her. I feel so sorry for everybody that lost her, Robert and her mother especially. Its so sad to hear that a innocent young woman was murdered because of the music she liked and it is shocking when it happens to anyone.

    Hopefully people will realize this.

  • Sophie looked beautfil in her photos, She should not have died at all!!!!!

    And I agree with "Jonno841"

    Rest In Peace Sophie xxx

  • call*

  • chavs are evil thuggy, bullying, granny robbing, handbag dipping, fanatics who cal everyone 'lad'

  • send chavscum to afghanistan or iraq, just like my grandparents went through two world wars for worthless pieces of chav scum, dole scrounging, house burgling, murdering, granny robbing shit like that.

  • please name this song..

  • The song is called Illusion (it's by VNV Nation), the band dedicated it themselves to Sophie. It's pathetic how hooded rats feel the need to beat up anyone who is alternative... it should have been those chavs in a grave... not Sophie.

  • Chavs...your place in oblivion is secure . Stay out of the dark . We are coming little cunts . Hell is here . Payback's a bitch mother fuckers .

  • thanks willhelm i agree cowards and spineless little creeps who need to be in a gang to feel hard.

  • all this has happend by dicrimination so you r doin the sme

  • bless you sophie you where a truegoth,they where just cowards and mainstream c##ts

  • Svet you are right , spot on . We will show them what happens when they fuck with american horror punks . We arent the nice ones . We are the 1970's leatherclad , demonic fuckers . Not the cute Lestat fuckers .

  • a very sad storey,sophie didnt deserve to

    die just for being different,the bastards that did this deserve to swing. SOPHIE RIP.

  • chavscum the scurge of britain cosh total low life scum!

  • kills me...

  • Rest In peace Sophie

  • This consumes me with hate i cnt wait to see those bastards die and they will to LostSoulCrying they got a few years and will be out on bail soon their sentences just got reduced

  • can anyone please tell me what was the penalties to all the brutal murderersof sophie?! im from portugal and it wasnt noticed the final punishment to this case !RIP SOPHIE, MY TEARS GO TO YOUR REST!

  • This saddens me to the core may this beautiful angel rest in peace my heart goes out to her family and friends same to her boyfriend may time help him on this hard road ahead witnessing and going thru such atrocity must not have been easy. God bless you all

  • the fuckin scum that did this deed deserve to die if you have anysense of justice join me in tracking down and killing these faggots

  • Rest in peace

  • The fuckers who killed Sophie make me ashamed to be British.

  • Rest in peace Sophie..

  • i wonder how many times they have been bummed now or been kicked in

  • the did a song calld 'hands up for bacup' well now they should do one called 'hands down for the prison showers' to cover their arseholes, and as for 'doin summat good' i wonder if they will have 'had summat good' rammed up their arseholes or clubbed over their head...

  • This makes me sad and mad at them same time!Its DISGUSTING! People should be able to be who they want to be. we love you sophie and we miss you!

    what is the song played at the end? I kinda like it :D....it makes me kinda sad though

  • It's illusion by VNV Nation

  • thanks! i really like it :D

  • Everytime I watch a clip about this poor girl I fall to pieces and cry, why was she murdered? It's wrong to beat someone up because of the way they dress. I would have loved to see her attackers take on all the 'goths' that attended her funeral. Maybe they should have given the filthbags a good kicking and shown them how much it hurts..

    Rest In Peace Sophie xx

  • A woman who just died!!!!

    You mean a special woman! who isnt afraid to be different!

    Those 5F*cks need to be beaten to the ground

  • whats the address of the parents of the scum bags and do they still live there

  • i was thinking the same thing. RSW

  • them bastards sorry for swearing but they got an appeal gonig thru, hope they bring back hanging just for them

  • It really makes me sad that people hurt others cause of the way they look...

    Rest In Peace..Sophie...

    :(

  • it's so sad that a Goth had to die this way...

    R.I.P. Sophie

    We all know that you are in a better place, watching over the people you love and watching as so many people are so shocked and angry of how you died.

  • Nooo!

  • R.I.P

    Sophie

    This is just so very heartbreaking

    XxXxXxXxXxX

  • so sad to hear bout this, kia kaha means stay strong everyone!!! from mike in New Zealand

  • Poor Sophie...T_T

  • My dearest sophie..Rest in Peace

  • r.i.p sophie attacked one year ago today

  • chavs are nazis

  • Chavs are worse than nazis, nazis were intelligent but extremely xenophobic. Chavs on the otherhand are just plain stupid.

  • This was so sad. It's horrible that people can't walk safely anywhere just because of their clothing.

    And P.S. What is the song at the end? I have looked everywhere for it, I love it.

  • GUESS WHAT?,we're not "goth". BUT we're dark individuals,we enjoy wearing black,we love gloomy music AN DARK POETRY,WE dance in the darkside ETC.please just shut up!! an PLEASE dont be afriad to say "GOTH",ts way shorter then saying all the above RIGHT??!!!,an please dont say i'm stereotying the word "GOTH"BECAUSE I'M NOT SO DON'T BE DUMB AN DEFENSIVE ABOUT IT, I UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE ALL UNIQUE IN OUR OWN "GOTH" WAY.HAHA! ITS NOT A LABEL JUST A WORD THAT DESCRIBES OUR PERSONALITYS,ALL IN 1!

  • REST IN PEACE SWEET SOPHIE.

  • rest in peace

  • i looked up sophie on youtube just now, i tried to watch this video but as soon as her mum started talking, i started to cry, ive paused the video, and im writing this, its so horrible, r.i.p. <3

  • sophie is with the angels- as for harris and herbert- i will be waiting at the gates of hell with the devil himself to make you both pay for what you did to sophie- you should both have been hanged with your inbred scum mothers made to watch you drop

  • i hope them dirty chavs fucking die im a goth a so if any of u dirty fucking chavs want some bring it on coz your all a bunch of cunts

  • People like you should shut up .

  • RoflXD - it is just a word. Get over it! What matters is a bunch of filthy braindead savages ran amok and beat up and killed an innocent woman.

  • And you are not very intelligent so why dont you keep your dumb ass opinions to yourself.

  • é muito triste pensar o quanto um ser pode ser tão preconceituoso...a ponto de matar um ser que vive pelo jeito de se vestir!!!

  • I'm not really goth but I still like goth fashion. why would someone kill those couple just because they wear goth? that's does not make sense!

  • once again religion is the cause of unneeded bloodshed, THE VERMIN OF SOCIETY

  • What is the name on the song used in the end?

  • VNV Nation - Illusion

  • this brought me to tears , those scumbags deserve worse than what they got, what is goin on wit ppl these days, atack odrs who dress difrntly its jst plain wron & ppl lik dem shud b lckd up fr lif it's unblvable on how bdly goth's ar tretd, me i'm a goth but it nvr hpens 2 me, bt england especaly happens,im really sory ad my heart goes out to sophie's family & her boyfriend, but i think the time has come for everyone especially goths to take a stand against hate crimes like this,

    R.I.P Sophie

  • THIS IS DIGUSTING!!! it makes you cry and want to brutally murder ALL! thats fuckin sick and twiztid even for me...

  • Szegény lány,részvétem...:(

    Két hülye,nyomorult köcsög meg dögöljön meg!>:(

  • I am a little jaded by sophie's mum now blaming "Weed" for violent behaviour. In my experience, cannabis makes people subdued and peaceful. This kind of generalisation will win her no friends in the campaign against 'Intolerance' with such an 'intolerant' statement. If the statement were true then there would be murders every few minutes. Lets face it, cannabis has nothing to do with it, some people are just downright evil!. Blaming pot is going down the wrong ally.

  • if you listen to what sylvia actually states is that the drink laws should be tightened as it was underage drinking that contributed to this

  • She's never be forgotten!

    RIP

  • whats the sound from 3.30 mins / secs?

    hauntingly beautiful

  • I think these scumbags who did this to Sophie and Rob should be used to test medical items on, and life should be generally made hel for them. They have taken away someone, and made life hell for others.

    Also i would like to say that i admire Sophie's family, and Rob's for being strong in such a situation.

    Hopefully karma's wheel will turn on those responsible. And hopefully we can start stamping out the mindless scally thugs who go round attacking people in their little groups.

    R.I.P

  • I live in Bacup, and am sorry to see we still have lots of scum like these lads knocking around on our streets. Being a rocker myself and classed as 'different' from these little worms, i've grown up in the town and been attacked myself before, around 10 years ago now. Unfortunately Rob and Sophie were not so lucky. Why does this happen? Why is it allowed to happen? I was a teenager myself when i was attacked by 2 idiots for no reason in the town. I would like to see those 2 lads now

  • harris, herbert and the other 3 inbred fuckwits will have computers- so read this, i hope all your families die of cancer, and when you are released you are hunted down like sewer rats and exterminated like the vile scum you are,

  • And how would that make things any better? Their families didn't do any of this, and probably wouldn't have. As for them, it's a debatable punishment.

  • have you read the cases finer details? martine harris the guilty ones mother laughed and abused sophies mum after the verdict- his father is on record as saying he is proud his son will have a prison record for murder! brenda harris' own defence q.c was asked by police to explain the gravity of the charges as he kept laughing and winking at his mum during questioning- now tell me the parents are not to blame, they where 15 drunk and out of control,

  • Parents like that are why I don't think the death penalty is good enough. Sometimes we need good, old-fashioned torture, and THEN death.

  • omg where did ya find out about this like?

  • i didnt n sophie but i love her and her memory wil live on forever im a punk and i get picked on everyday and before i saw what happend to this beautiful girl i was gonna change coz i was fed up but then i thought im not gonna let them get me down im gonna stay strong for sophie the bastards who did this should be tourted all my love to rob stay strong sweetheart RIP Sophie

  • i only found out about this a couple of days ago (i am in australia) and i'm horrified it wasn't publicized more. i have been verbally abused by strangers, i have seen first-hand the kind of ignorance there is towards goths and other alternative cultures. sophie was a beautiful girl, and i can only imagine the pain suffered by rob. seeing reports in which he says he wished she had run away to save herself and left him, i couldn't stop myself from crying. rest in peace, sophie lancaster.

  • Mods, Rockers, Goths, emos all of you, stick together, back eachother up, we all dress different, and have different music tastes, but what unites us all is the love of REAL music, the meanings in the lyrics, and the freedom to dress and express ourselves how we see fit without corporate companies like nike, addidas etc telling us we should be wearing. KEEP THE PEACE EVERYONE, safe, Love ROCK ON. forever!! SAIMON. TENERIFE. CANARY ISLANDS. SPAIN

  • BUT if the parents werent such lowlifes and put more attention into bringing up their kids, and put interest in their kids lifes and what they were getting up to, this sort of CRAP wudnt happen!! Parents are JUST AS MUCH TO BLAME. I Am SICKENED by this crap. Being a rocker/goth etc myself years back, i know exactly how it feels to be "picked on" by others in tracksuit bottoms and nike trainers, it wud happen nearly every saturday on my trek to the AGINCOURT in camberley, RIP sophie

  • Killers: Brendan Harris and Ryan Herbert, rot in hell!! If I Ever get my hands on you both youre gonna feel the same as sophie and her boyfriend did. And TO THE PARENTS OF THESE TWO PATHETIC KIDS, YOU SHOULD BE F*CKIN ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES AND SHOULD BE PUNISHED TOO!!! Im not giving these two scumbags an excuse......continued

  • i agree, would harris and herbert do us all a favour and hang yourselves in prison- thanks!

  • I don't know what to say to this it's so moving, I hope at the Download festivel we remeber that rock is a celebration of uniqueness and not of prejudice or hatred. It's about love. So hug your fellow brother and preach of love not violence.

  • Such a sickening thing... Just one of many, it really makes you think of what sad beings we are. This, war and all other sad and hateful things we do. There's just so much that's came by our hatred for difference. We live for such a short amount of time yet we scar the world for ages to come through all our foolishness... It's just sickening.

    Can you still contribute to that Sophie movement, someone knows? I just found out about it recently and wished I had given something.

  • Check out the myspace page inmemoryofsophie. There's a fund to donate money to, but most important is to make sure this tragedy will not be forgotten. Tell people about what happened to Sophie and Rob, spread the word, make a noise about it.

  • Ah thanks.

  • sylvia, sophies mum has set up a s.o.p.h.i.e fund- if you contact me i have the halifax account and sort code, also there are fund raising wrist bands available and i am selling these for sophie's fund- get in touch here

  • im in tears watching this and every time some one speaks about i cant help but cry

  • I read in a local paper a comment by somebody who knew the parents of these thugs. He said that the mother was an alcoholic and the father was a thug himself and would be proud that his son is in prison. The problem we have today is too many broken families, drunken, druggie parents who neglect their kids. Ive witnessed it first hand. Why is this problem being ignored? How bad is it going to get before we act.

  • Umm... You do realize that what you just wrote was relatively the same thing that those teenagers did to Sophie and her boyfriend...so, you aren't any better than they are... How ironic, eh? Yeah...um, that was retarded dude.

  • ...You are retarded, as I have stated above..think before you act, will ya? Then you don't look like a retarded human being who has nothing better to do than be online writing horrible things about other people...mkay?

  • the answer to this 'chav' problem is culture! britain has cultural problems. i personally think it has something to do with our binge-drink culture and football hooligan culture. then there is our class system and a serious class-snobbery culture. type 'chav' in the utube search box and read the comments to these 'chav' videos. this country reminds me of the fucking jerry springer show where the audience mock 'white-trash' about the state of their teeth.

  • i hate the daily mail, but go to the dailymail's website and type 'Drunk violent promiscuous' in the search box and read the article by EMILY ANDREWS. basically british kids drink more than in any other industrialised country. british girls drink more than any other country and are the most sexually active in europe. 'a 2007 Unicef study of child well-being in 21 industrialised countries placed Britain firmly at the bottom of the table' etc etc

  • ... Whats your point?

  • next time you're down the pub shouting at the football match like a drunken tosser; think about the example you are setting our youth. i hate wankers whose life = booze and football - that is about 80% of the male population of britain. search 'the football song (by adam and joe)' where they rip the piss out of footy fans lol. that is britain!

  • i think that it's disgraceful that our 'culture' is built from violence, alcohol, drugs and rap music. This is why I am ashamed to be from Britain.

  • ....

  • The cowardly scum who attacked this girl dont deserve to live

  • I'm sure the youth felt the same way about Sophie and her boyfriend... Dude, you're acting the same way they probably did, except that as far as we know, you haven't attacked anyone because they look different from you, or their opinions differ from yours... Seriously, think before you act.

  • My point is that a number of you people are acting, and have the same kind of feelings that the teenagers who attacked the couple have...meaning, you are, in a sense, just like them, except that as far as we know, you haven't killed anyone or beaten anyone up. Duh?

  • i just want to say that my heart goes out to her family and everyone that was hurt by the death of sophie <3

    this just goes to show how hateful ppl are against ppl that express themselves differently.

    I personally love the people that aren't afraid to stand out!

  • stupid chavs,,,,,

    this made me cry.

    she amazingy pretty and deserved to have the rest of her life

  • This video is heartbreaking. My son is 21 this year. I read that the parents were laughing and giggling when their kids were arrested and even after Sophie died. I say put the parents of these monsters on trial too.

  • "..only a matter of time before the law is taken into our own hnds." I think you may be right. Only this week I heard that a couple of fellas have been locked uf for c. 9 years each for killing a burglar. If the law did it`s job, the man in the street wouldn`t have to do it for it !

  • Beautiful video...made me cry. What happened to Sophie and Rob has changed my life a lot. This summer I'll be DJing a graduation party and I will be dedicating Illusion to Sophie. I never met her but i love her dearly and always will. Her light shines on through every one of us who cherish her.
