She said that although Cher had experienced difficulties in her life, she had recently found happiness, moving into a beautiful new apartment, and starting up a fashion business, designing jewellery and clothing.She described Cher as a devoted and protective mother, and that she died trying to shield her daughter.

"She wasn't trying to get involved in a fight," Ms Jacobs said, describing how a group of men had started fighting "with no regard" to others nearby, and how the knife had come very close to Cher's little girl.

"But those that were involved had no thought that a three year old has to live with the fact that, 'my mum died because my mum was saving my life'.""We wanted to mark this significant milestone with a celebration featuring local music and stalls, plus some traditional Maypole dancing, art activities and much more."
