Mural commemorating Nicola Bulley unveiled in tragic mum's home town

A mural in memory of the late Nicola Bulley has been unveiled in the town she grew up in.

The mum-of-two went missing on January 27 during a dog walk in St Michaels on Wyre after the morning school run. The 45-year-old's body was discovered in the River Wyre near Preston, Lancashire, on Sunday (February 19) following a major search effort lasting more than three weeks.

Friends of Nicola gathered at a candlelit vigil at the bandstand in the centre of her hometown of South Woodham Ferrers, Essex, at 8pm on Thursday evening (February 23). The previous day, local artist Danny Bench had completed an incredible mural of Nicola, just round the corner on Hullbridge Road, reports the Mirror.
