Floral tributes have been paid to a young woman who tripped over a wall and fell to her death while singing and dancing with her friend.
Arina Glazunova’s last moments were caught by her pal in the hard-to-watch clip filmed in Tbilisi, Georgia, on September 27.
The footage, shared widely on social media, shows the 24-year-old from Moscow strutting along a pavement singing along to the Russian boyband Hunger Boys’ hit ‘For The Last Time’.
Arina can be seen looking towards her friend’s phone without looking where she is going. As she keeps singing the camera switches back to her friend who looks on in horror as Arina disappears headfirst over the edge of a wall and into an underground passage.
Her panicked screams can briefly be heard in the clip before it cuts to black.

Floral tributes have since appeared at the site of the tragedy – in Tbilisi’s Republic Square – alongside a sign written in English that claims the height of wall does comply with building regulations.
The sign said: ‘On September 27, at 2:30 a.m a tragedy occurred in this place.
‘Arina Glazunova was walking with a friend and taking a video when she stepped over the parapet, fell and broke. Arina died at the hospital at 9:15.
‘The height of the underground parapet is 30 centimeters, which is a violation of building norms. We call on the city to correct this error so that no one else gets hurt. Please make this incident public.
‘Please share this with your friends and be careful!’
A video posted on TikTok showed what the subway looks like during the day – revealing how low down the ledge is.

Radio Liberty Georgia, a Georgian news site, have reported that an investigation has been launched into the incident.
Tbilisi’s City Hall have said that the Soviet era passage was built according to building standards from that period.
The Mayor of the city, Kakhi Kaladze, has said that the underground passages across the Georgian capital meet modern building standards.
Nino Imnadze, dean of the Faculty of Architecture, Urbanism and Design of the Technical University of Georgia, told Radio Liberty Georgia that underground passages built across the city in the 1980s were deliberately designed without railings to also serve as benches.
She said: ‘The wall should have been at least 60 centimeters in height and width. Nothing was done from above, because it also had a seating function.’
Several social media users have expressed their shock at the tragedy, with a number commenting on the safety of the entrance to the underground station.
One local Dato Akobia took to social media to say how dangerous the small wall Arina fell over is.
Another social media user said: ‘Why are there no security fences? Is it normal for them to walk on the edge of the abyss everyday?’
