Tributes have been paid to the devoted chair of a service for victims of sexual violence in Nottinghamshire.
Anne Sylvester, who worked at Nottinghamshire Sexual Violence Support Service (Notts SVSS) for more than a decade, died after a long illness on January 8.
The 72-year-old, of Langar, had a distinguished career which included working at the Foreign Office and for the Civil Service before joining the organisation in 2011 and was described as "very committed" by a former colleague.
