The body of a mother-of-three has been pulled from a reservoir after she 'got into difficulty' in the water.

Kimberley Johnson, 33, was found in Strinesdale Reservoir, Greater Manchester, on Sunday following a major search and rescue operation.

Paying an emotional tribute, her close friend Tanya Kennedy described her as an 'amazing woman' who would 'light up every room she walked into'.

She confirmed Ms Johnson was a mother-of-three from Rochdale.

'Kim was such an amazing woman, she took me in when I was younger and from there she always treated me like a sister,' she said.
