Matilda came to Preston in 1998 after the volcanic eruption in Monserrat caused her and family to flee. She absolutely threw herself into life in the city and will be very much missed. A lovely walk to pay tribute to her from her family and friends. ❤️
Matilda died aged 58 of pancreatic cancer in May last year just a few weeks after being diagnosed with the disease in April.Pioneering lunch cancer diagnosis at Royal Preston Hospital
