Loose Women star Gloria Hunniford to mark 20 years since daughter Caron’s death

Speaking to HELLO! magazine recently, Gloria opened up about her plans to mark 20 years since her daughter passed.

Caron was just 41 when she died following a seven-year battle with breast cancer.

She is survived by her sons, Charlie and Gabriel, who are 29 and 27 now respectively.

Gloria has revealed that the event will take place in St Peter’s Church, Hever, Kent.

“It was hard to know exactly what to do because I didn’t want to do anything that Charlie and Gabriel would find too serious, so I had the idea of gathering Caron’s friends,” she told the publication.

Gloria, 83, then continued.

“The vicar will be there to welcome everybody, then I will say a few words of welcome and Janet will invite friends up to speak,” she then said.

“Their brief is to talk about what they loved about Caron and the crazy, happy things they used to do together. It will be a lovely chance for Charlie and Gabriel to learn a bit more about Mum and they’ll enjoy the stories,” she then added.

Elsewhere in the interview, Gloria confessed that sometimes it feels like a “100 years” since her daughter’s death. Other times, it feels like “six months ago”.

She then went on to say that she “loves” talking about Caron as it “keeps her alive”.
