Hundreds of people came out to raise money and support a young man who lost his mum and aunt within six months.

On October 6, 2015 37 year-old Jamie Jordan died following seven gruelling years of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a respiratory condition extremely unlikely to kill someone so young.

In March the following year her younger sister Hayley unexpectedly fell sick and was rushed to hospital.

Doctors discovered she had a bleed on the brain, but were unable to save her.

On October 6 this year friends and family joined in on a day of remembrance in the sisters' honour, led by Jamie's son Tommy Hurved.

Following a charity football from 12.30pm at Debden Sports, a nail bar, face painting, raffle, karaoke and children's activities took place at the Loaf Pub from 3pm.

Mr Hurved said: "It was pouring down all day, my team took at absolutely hammering and I missed a penalty.

"But the football was good fun.

"The Loaf was absolutely packed."

The hundreds of people that came out in support stayed in the pub late into the night playing the sisters' favourite songs.

"I was one of the earliest to leave at 1.45am," Mr Hurved added.

"In total we raised about £2,400 for the British Lung Foundation.

"It shows how caring people are.

"I feel it is testament to my mum's character.

"It was really nice. It makes me realise what an impact she had on people."
