A mum-of-two has died after being diagnosed with skin cancer years on from having quit sunbeds and believing she had beaten the disease.
Diane Cannon's 'bubbly' niece Claire had a melanoma removed in her early twenties, which left an 'awful scar' on her back, reports Liverpool Echo.

She added: "You just lose hope, you really do. She was a young woman with a life ahead of her, and she's gone."
The family has a history of skin cancer, with Diane's dad, brother and two sisters all having had it in various forms since 1995.
Diane, from South Liverpool, was diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer in 2020 after her monthly inspections of her skin revealed a growing lump on her nostril, which was surgically removed.
The 55-year-old works to spread awareness of skin cancer through Melanoma UK.
She runs a weekly support group for melanoma patients, and she's starting another specifically for people with non-melanoma skin cancer, which is more common and can be less serious.
She said: "The things that we do for Melanoma UK, what I do just get that message out, is because I don't want other people going through what we're going through, because we're still going
