Crystal Palace are mourning the loss of their bald eagle mascot Kayla, who has passed away following a short illness.
The predator had fallen ill last month at the Eagle Heights Wildlife Foundation where she lives, with Palace fans offering their support on a GoFundMe page in an attempt to save her - raising its target of £3000.
But despite their best efforts, the foundation has announced that Kayla passed away from a heart attack following a spell of gout - a serious condition in birds of prey.
