Beccy Barr passed away on Monday after being diagnosed with incurable abdominal cancer.

Beccy Barr, who worked for BBC North West Tonight before leaving in 2019 to join Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, was diagnosed with incurable abdominal cancer in 2023.

"I think originally it was for careers and showing girls that they could absolutely do whatever they wanted to do with their lives and their careers," Ms Hunter said. "Beccy was an inspirational in everything that she did. She was so much fun, she had so much energy she was so inspiring," Ms Hunter added.

Former rugby league player, Adrian Morely, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with Ms Barr in 2015 for charity. Jea Brierley wrote in to say "what an amazingly talented and passionate person Becky was.... I was sad when she left journalism for a fire fighting career but have never forgotten her".
