"We all met up last year. - Change in size or feel of the breast I still can't quite believe it's real."

Cheryl, Nadine Coyle and Nicola Roberts participated in the charity Race For Life For Sarah in Hyde Park, while Kimberly Walsh joined remotely.

“I lost grandparents when I was younger and I lost a friend when I was younger but nothing like this, the feeling of shock and disbelief and it still lingers now to be honest. “We all met up last year. “I’ve never experienced or anticipated this grief,” she said.

The Derry native, as well as Nicola Roberts and Cheryl, led hundreds of runners at the special 5km event in London's Hyde Park organised by Cancer Research UK.

I love you." "Sarah would be so happy! View this post on Instagram

Remaining members took part in a 5km run to raise money in memory of former bandmate who died of cancer last year.

Her remark prompted Roberts to say: “Also we were concerned for your denial. the four of us have such a chill… It doesn’t feel like she’s gone at all.” “I think that for us right now, we don’t feel like Girls Aloud. We don’t feel like a band without Sarah. She, like I said just now, she was such a huge part of our energy that it doesn’t feel like that.” I still can’t quite believe it’s real.” “I was in denial the entire time and was the friend that was ‘Oh, it’s gonna be all right’, you know, I was completely in denial right up until the day she passed.”

Her remark prompted Nicola to say: “Also we were concerned for your denial. “We all met up last year. It doesn’t feel like she’s gone at all.” She was there and we were talking and she didn’t even seem that sick. I still can’t quite believe it’s real. the four of us have such a chill…

The passing of someone so technicolour, so joyful and vibrant, lingers and affects us all because she reminds us of our friends, our sisters, ourselves. Yesterday, one of my closest friends and I shared our mutual sorrow over Sarah’s death while we talked about the practicalities of how we’ll organise childcare to help her out when she goes for reconstructive surgery tomorrow, following her own double masectomy for breast cancer in 2019. From afar (those who knew her personally would of course know best, and I can only speak in humble tribute as a casual observer) she came across as the type of girl who, if you were to bump into her at a party, would immediately give you a hug and tell you a devilishly dirty joke when nobody was listening. Sarah exuded fun and froth, warmth and light and dazzle, even from the remote distance of a TV screen or red carpet. You just knew somehow that Sarah would tell you he was shi*ty and that there were plenty more fish in the sea, in that lovely, “normal” (by which I mean Manchester/South-Eastern mish-mash) accent of hers. And that is the beauty of Harding’s legacy: news of the 39-year-old’s death last September from breast cancer seemed to hit harder than many people expected it to, but perhaps there’s a simple reason for that.
