Dozens of friends, relatives, neighbours and Burnham residents are expected to turn out for candle lit tribute to a mum.

The tribute will take place on Saturday at 6pm in the car park entrance of Booth Place, off Essex Road, in memory of Becky Parker who was strangled to death on July 17.

Pregnant mum-of-two Becky had lived in her ground floor Moat housing association flat in Booth Place for about three years, having grown up in Purleigh and having attended Thurstable School in Tiptree.

Those paying their respects to Becky on Saturday are asked to wear something baby blue, which was her favourite colour.

Friends, who have organised the event, have also requested yellow roses in memory of Becky and baby pink helium balloons and ribbons in memory of her unborn baby girl.
