A close friend has paid tribute to a mother and daughter who were swept away at a seaside resort.
Sarah Keeling, 45, “adored” her daughter Grace, 15, who was her “whole world”, Joanne Gee said.
The bodies of Sarah and Mark Ratcliffe – a passer-by who tried to help – were recovered on Friday, shortly after they entered heavy seas in Withernsea, East Yorkshire. Police said they were still searching for Grace.
Fighting back tears as she placed flowers at the scene on Monday, Joanne said Sarah – who was a bridesmaid at her wedding – “left a mark with absolutely everyone she met”.
