Moving tributes have been paid to a 24-year-old tragically killed in a three-vehicle crash on Good Friday.

Family and friends of Rebekah Alderson have told of a "beautiful, loving, compassionate woman" who was loved so much.

In an emotional outpouring of grief, her brother, known only as Jase, said: "She was meant to be there with me to watch our parents grow old, as an auntie to my children, someone to share memories with until we both grew old ourselves and all of this has been robbed from us both."

He was speaking after the New Romney woman died after the black Ford Ka she was driving caught fire in the crash at 11.40pm on the A2070 halfway between Ashford and Hamstreet.

The crash also involved a dark blue Peugeot Partner van and a blue BMW 5 series.

Her brother added: "I never imagined anything in life could be this hard but I promise I won’t forget you Bec.

"I will be strong for Mum and Dad and I’m so proud that you were my little sister."

Rebekah's parents, who have not been named, described their daughter as "perfection in every way, as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside.

"She was so thoughtful and always made time for her family and friends, always trying to get everyone together."

They said their daughter, who worked as a personal advisor for Connexions in Dover, had made her family proud when she earned a 1st class honours degree in history and social anthropology.

They added: "We are privileged to have had a daughter as beautiful as Becky and not a minute will pass without our love going out to her."

Rebekah's sister-in-law Nik said she was so proud to have shared the happiest day of her life with "such an amazing friend".
