Surrey Street Market came together in a moving tribute to a woman whose presence was woven into the life of the market itself. As a long-standing trader, she was more than a familiar face, she was part of the heartbeat of the street, known for her warmth, her resilience, and the spirit she brought to every day behind her stall.
In honour of her life and the decades she spent serving her community, a special procession was held down Surrey Street Market, giving fellow traders, friends, and locals the chance to mourn her in the place she helped shape. In a rare and heartfelt gesture, the council agreed to temporarily turn off the street cameras and allow the procession to pass through uninterrupted. A small but powerful recognition of her legacy, her dignity, and the love she inspired.
Her memory will live on in the stories, the laughter, and the everyday moments shared among those who knew her. Surrey Street Market won’t be the same without her, but it will always carry her spirit.
