Candlelight vigil to be held for mum-of-one Rosie Darbyshire

Rosie, 27, was found dead in Pope Lane, Ribbleton, in the early hours of last Thursday.

She had suffered a brutal attack and died as a result of her injuries.

One of Rosie's best friends, Denni Hartley, has organised a memorial event in Whitmore Place, Moor Nook, at 6pm, to remember her.

Denni told the Post that she organised the vigil "to remember the fun colourful girl that she was and just how much she was loved".

Those attending are asked to bring candles, lanterns and balloons to be released in Rosie's memory.
