Laura, who took over her job before she passed away, wanted fans to remember the “fun” side of popular Caroline as her Flackstock festival was launched.

“We didn’t want to leave.
“We couldn’t find where Caroline parked so very nearly didn’t.”
She added: “Caroline loved a festival, so it seemed very fitting that she has her own.
Love to everyone at Flackstock.”
Caroline’s mum Christine has been focusing her energy on organising the inaugural Flackstock, with Caroline’s friends, including fellow presenters Natalie Pinkham – who created the concept of the festival, Dawn O’Porter and Leigh Francis.
