The family of Laura Nuttall, who ticked off an extensive bucket list before she died from brain cancer, have climbed one of her favourite walking spots 100 times to mark her 25th birthday.

Laura died in May 2023 after she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer in 2018. She had been given an initial prognosis of 12 months.

After she died, at the age of 23, the family scattered Laura's ashes at the top of Pendle Hill, as they said it was one of her favourite walking spots.

Her mother Nicola Nuttall said it was "really special" to finish on her daughter's birthday.

She told BBC North West Tonight that the walks with her daughter Grace became their "special time together".

Speaking as the family made their final ascent, Mrs Nuttall said they would "talk about Laura and memories and what we were going to do moving forward".

She added: "We just went through all the seasons, all weathers and all times of the day and night, with our head torches on."

Laura, from Barrowford in Lancashire, was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, the most aggressive form of brain cancer, following a routine eye test and was later found to have eight tumours.

Despite her diagnosis and years of treatment, she went on to work her way through a bucket list of ambitions which saw her meet Michelle Obama, command a Royal Navy ship and present the weather on BBC North West Tonight.

The Peter Kay fan also graduated from the University of Manchester.
