“This weekend we will mark in our own private way, remembering Kirsty and how special she was to us all, how much she affected our lives and how much we miss her.”

“Family and friends will be changing social media profile photos to a picture of Kirsty.

“Please feel free to support by changing your picture for the duration of Sunday April 29. Thank you from all the family.”

The family, who admitted they had gone through an “extremely difficult period” have frequently campaigned for information.

Despite several trips to Benidorm in attempts to try and appeal for anyone to come forward, no answers have been given regarding the death.
