Anne Naysmith became known as the 'car lady of Chiswick' after being evicted from her flat in 1977 and for the rest of her life lived rough on the streets around the west London home she missed so badly.
The 77-year-old said her life went into freefall after a man 'broke her heart' but despite her unconventional existence those who knew her said she retained her 'dignity to the end'.
Shops and homes in Chiswick have today been asked to display red roses in their windows in remembrance of her remarkable life.
so bad this is... RIP..
Shame no one helped this cherished character in Britain. What in the world are the council workers and management team doing?
