Family and friends of Moira Jones have paid tribute to her at a memorial service in a Glasgow church. | |
It took place almost two months after the 40-year-old's body was found in Queen's Park, close to where she lived. | |
More than 100 people, including her parents Bea and Hugh Jones, attended the service led by Strathclyde Police chaplain the Reverend Neil Galbraith. | |
Mr Galbraith described Moira as a "remarkable lady". Her uncle John said she was a "touch of class". | |
He told the congregation: "I can only ever remember her with a big smile on her face." | |
Her uncle Ed said: "Moira was a great lass, loving, caring and thoughtful, even as a wee girl." | |
"Right from the start she was a happy, smiling wee girl you just had to love and that never changed." | |
The service at Cathcart Old Parish Church ended with the congregation singing All Things Bright and Beautiful. | |
A 32-year-old man from Slovakia has appeared in private at Glasgow Sheriff Court charged with her murder. | |
