'She was my soulmate and my best friend' - husband's moving tribute to extraordinary mum-of-two

Globe trotting mum-of-two Pia Eaves always went the extra mile for everyone - and now her loved ones are about to do 200 of them in her memory.

The 54-year-old died after battling pancreatic cancer last year and left behind an amazing legacy and plenty of happy memories for her family. Pia, who enjoyed successful career in international banking, was described as an incredibly positive person and always full of smiles and laughter - even in the face of her diagnosis.

Her family said that after the mum-of-two died, they wanted to do something to pay tribute to her as well as raise funds for a charity - and decided to do a sponsored walk with a Gavin & Stacey theme. Husband Simon and daughters Rhiannon and Emilia - along with friends and family - will be walking 200 miles from Billericay in Essex all the way back to their home in Barry.
