The life of a talented and much-loved artist who was found dead in a park was celebrated at a service of remembrance today. Rachel Jackson, 38, from Didsbury, was described in touching tributes as a 'one of a kind' artist.
She vanished while visiting friends in Preston, Lancashire, on March 31 but was tragically found dead in the Avenham area of the city. An inquest which opened last week heard she is believed to have taken her own life.
Her mum, Jackie, who was wearing a rainbow suit, called at the service on her friends and family to 'take a little bit of her with you everywhere you go'.
