A coastal rescue mission was triggered after Sarah, 45, and Grace, 15, got into difficulty in the water at Withernsea on Friday.

The bodies of mum Sarah and Mark Ratcliffe, 67, a member of the public who tried to save the pair, were later recovered. Grace has not been found.

Sarah was a keen runner and members of a community running group said she would be remembered for her "infectious smile".

Fellow running group member and friend Julie Winter said: “Sarah was always full of life, with an infectious smile, always up for the next challenge.

"We had our own little group. We were always planning something nice. She had so many friends and was loved by everyone.”

Friend Amy Tansley said: "Knowing Sarah was a privilege. Her presence in my life brought warmth, laughter and kindness.
