TRIBUTES have been paid to a young woman after she died suddenly.
Flowers have been left for Katrina-Frances Fell, from Clitheroe, after her shock death last week.
Friends of the popular 23-year-old, who worked at the Waddington Arms, have also left heartfelt tributes to Katrina on social media.
Paying tribute to her friend on social media, Blackburn entrepreneur and former Apprentice candidate Camilla Ainsworth said: "There are no words that seem enough. I saw you two weeks ago and you seemed the happiest girl in the world.
"You’ve always had the ability to light up any room, make anyone laugh. If only you could see how many people loved you so deeply Katrina."
Police found a body at 9.30am on Friday in woods near Waddow Hall, Waddington Road.
