TRUBUTES have been paid to a 58-year-old woman who died while trying to see the lights at Gwrych Castle which is hosting this years ITV I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.

Sharn Iona Hughes, from Prestatyn was sadly pronounced dead following a road traffic collision between a pedestrian and a car on the A547 Abergele Road at Middle Gate at around 5pm on Saturday (November 21).

Her family and friends are in total shock about her tragic death. They said: “Sharn was so selfless, and had such a joyous, charitable attitude to life.

"She was in the process of organising deliveries of hampers to the local food bank through the Women’s Institute. We’ll miss her kindness forever.

“Her curiosity led to her wanting to see the lights at Gwrych Castle which unfortunately led to her untimely tragic death along a very busy road.

"We are truly heartbroken. She was hoping to take a photo and send it to a friend. We know that several others will have done and plan to do the same. We urge people to take so much care and remember it is a busy main A class road.”

North Wales Police continue to appeal for witnesses or to anybody with dashcam footage to come forward.

Sergeant Raymond Williams from the Roads Policing Unit said: “Our thoughts remain with Sharn’s family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.

"She was clearly a much loved woman and her family are now being supported by a family liaison officer.

“We continue to appeal to anybody who may have witnessed the collision and who is yet to come forward, or to anybody who may have been travelling along the A547 just prior to the collision and who may have dash cam to contact us immediately.”

Sharn was the youngest daughter of John and Gloria Bevan and she was the devoted wife of Elfyn Hughes, and loving mother to Arron & Annah Hughes.

Anybody with information that could assist with the ongoing investigation is asked to contact officers at the Roads Policing Unit on 101 or via the live web chat.
