A second added: "We knew Clare from Partridge’s, such a lovely girl, never let me feel guilty jumping straight to dessert! I can’t even begin to imagine how her family and friends are feeling. My prayers and thoughts are with them all… sincere condolences, May she rest in peace."

A third couple from Dublin penned: "We had the pleasure of meeting you and your lovely Clare one winters night in the Bridge Bar, We are deeply sorry for your loss."
