A mum has paid tribute to her "best friend" and daughter, who tragically took her own life. Annie-Rose Houghton, of Chilwell, was a beloved family member and friend, but ended her own life last year after suffering from depression and intrusive thoughts.
The 19 year old's mum, Claire Iliffe, said that her daughter was "vibrant, chatty, and very, very caring." Annie had grown up with animals, and had absolutely "adored" a horse named Foley, who belonged to a family friend.
But a series of events in her life led to her taking her own life and dying in September last year.
