A missing mum was "laughing and joking" just minutes before she vanished while walking her dog, according to a friend.
Nicola Bulley's dog Willow was found off her lead on a path along the River Wyre last Friday.
The 45-year-old's mobile phone was understood to have been found on the ground next to a bench overlooking the water, which has an estimated 18ft underwater drop, reports the Mirror.
