She misses her mum's cooking as well, she said - and although she "had a very difficult life, with many challenges", she was "a very strong woman in many ways, quiet ways". "She was like a mum. More than an older sister, and a best friend. If we were ever stuck, we'd always get to Areema", who could "solve it without our mum knowing", she added with a smile.

"My kids are heartbroken. My mum, literally, five days out of seven, she'd be at my house. And she'd look after them in school holidays.

One of her earliest memories, she said, was of there "always being someone round, for him to help and support".
