Anne Nolan has described her “heartache and loss” after the death of sister Linda Nolan, who she said “found humour in life’s darkest corners”, while Coleen Nolan concurred that her “wit, humour and laughter was infectious”.

The Irish singer, who performed with her sisters Coleen, Maureen, Bernie, Denise and Anne in family group The Nolans, died “peacefully” surrounded by her family on Wednesday, in a hospital in Blackpool.
