The presenter says she is 'utterly heartbroken', adding 'Mam, I love you forever'.
Broadcaster Lauren Laverne says she is "utterly heartbroken" by the death of her mother, Celia Grofton.
The 6 Music presenter announced the news on Instagram, calling her mum "the kindest, most compassionate and most tenacious person I have ever met".She said her mum had been looking forward to seeing Paul McCartney's headline slot on Saturday night. "She'd been a fan ever since she saw him at the Sunderland Empire in 1963," she wrote, "and later met him later with me - he was just lovely to her".
In a long and moving tribute, Laverne said her mother had been the middle of nine children, and had worked as a seamstress and a casino dancer to pay for teacher training college. She continued: "Met my Dad at 16 and loved him every day of her life. She ran the only reggae club night in the Northeast and told me that being young in the 60s felt like that line in Mr Tambourine Man, 'to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free'."
