The daughter of a woman who died after being hit by a van in Bury has paid a heartfelt tribute to her.
Irene Allen was hit by a Mercedes Sprinter van on Walmersley Road at around 11.15am last Tuesday (December 6). The 87-year-old was rushed to hospital from the scene, but she sadly died of her injuries last Sunday.
In a tribute issued through Greater Manchester Police, her daughter Melanie said she 'would always put others before herself'. She said her mum was Bury's first lollipop lady and will be missed for her 'sunny personality'.
