The Yasmine McClory Foundation was launched earlier this year in memory Yasmine McClory, of Sutton-on-Trent, who passed away suddenly earlier this year aged just 20 years old of a pulmonary embolism likely the result of her being 10 weeks pregnant.
On what would have been her 21st birthday on Saturday (September 21), and also poignantly what would have been the week her baby was due, Yasmine’s family hosted the music festival Yasfest at Sutton-on-Trent Sports Club.
Among the artists who played on the day was Yasmine's boyfriend and father of her unborn child, Mark Henry, who performed for the first time in five years, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house when he played Snow Patrol’s Chasing Cars.
