A father has said he is ‘utterly devastated’ after losing half a pendant necklace he shared with his late daughter.

Father-of-four Dan Monaghan shared the necklace with his daughter Delilah who died in October 2015, aged just three following an 18-month battle with cancer.

Now in an emotional Facebook post he has pleaded with the public for help in finding it. 

Mr Monaghan said he lost the necklace between Off The Wall hairdressers and the Isle Be Fit gym in Newport, Isle of Wight, on Friday. 

More than 11,000 people have shared the personal trainer’s post in search for the necklace which he noticed was missing when the chain fell off coming out the car.   

‘Me and my wife had [the pendants] for a number of years and when my daughter passed away my wife put her own chain into the coffin with my daughter, which had the other half of the heart on there,’ he said. 

On Facebook he wrote: ‘This is a real long shot but today I have lost my half heart pendant form my chain.. The clasp broke on the chain and as I was getting out of my car I noticed the chain was hanging down my neck and the half heart was gone…

‘This half heart is literally IRREPLACEABLE to me.. and worth probably £2 to anyone else..

‘The other half of this pendant is buried with my daughter and I am utterly devastated to have lost it..
