Tributes have been paid to a fundraising fancy dress runner following her death in Dubai.
Her sister, Joanne Edwards, said she was "absolutely shocked and devastated" by Ms Taylor's death in the UAE city, which was "completely out of the blue".Ms Taylor, who became a local celebrity following her daily fancy dress runs through lockdown, moved in November to Dubai where she worked as a hairdresser and was "loving life over there", said Ms Edwards.
"I think for myself, the family and the whole community in Silsden, everybody will just remember her for her bubbliness and crazy antics of running around Silsden every day during lockdown putting smiles on people's faces, cheering everybody up."She said an online fundraising page set up to "bring Mary home" had received "an absolutely overwhelming response" with more than £11,000 in donations.
