Jade Goody's mum Jackiey Budden plans memorial

Star's eldest son Bobby will do a reading

Jackiey Budden's daughter Jade Goody died on Mother's Day 2009

Jade Goody's mum will mark the anniversary of the star's death with a memorial later this month. 

The Big Brother star died of cervical cancer aged 27 on Mother's Day last year.

'I will have a big memorial service at the funeral directors on 21 March,' says Jackiey Budden.

'The family will visit her grave in Upshire, Essex, then head to The Piano Lounge in Eppping with her bridesmaids to spend an evening there for her, which she will love.'

Jackiey, 51, says the service will be a celebration of Jade's life.

'I'll do a reading and so will [Jade's son] Bobby,' she says. 'We will be releasing some doves.

'About 50 people - from friends and family to celebrities like Aldo Zilli and Antony Costa - are going.'
