Her granddaughter Jess previously paid an emotional tribute to her nan.

In an Instagram post she wrote: "Grief is something I've never really experienced which I'm grateful for but the last few weeks has been the most testing time of my entire life. There is nothing anyone can say or do to take the pain away.

"However, my Nan was the one person in my life who was happy no matter what the situation was, what day it was, and however she really felt deep down.

"I booked this trip over a month ago & never in a million years expected what was going to happen. I tore between decision [sic] over whether to go but I know my Nan would have wanted me to smile and celebrate her existence rather than stay home & mourn every day.

She added: "Moments are hard & moments are so bad that I feel like I'll never be able to smile again. But then when I think of her happiness & love of life I find strength again to laugh.

"The bond between a grandchild and their grandparent is unexplainable & something so special but I feel most for my mum & her siblings because their pain is something I can't relate to & I'm so proud of my mum for being so strong at this hard time.

"Thank you Danielle for supporting me & being the amazing friend you always are 💗 family is everything."
