Actress Simone Lahbib has graced our screens in some iconic roles for more than two decades - but it is her real life role as a loving aunt and sister which may be her most significant yet.
Simone has been one of the driving forces of the Eilidh Brown Memorial Fund, a charity set up in tribute to her teenager niece, who passed away from cancer just days before her 16th birthday in 2010.
Eilidh was described by friends and family as “a shining example and spectacular person, selfless, strong, positive and funny with an amazing understanding of the world”.
