Friends of missing mum Nicola Bulley have left a series of handwritten messages on yellow ribbons near to where she went missing.
The 45-year-old has not been seen for more than two weeks after she disappeared while walking her dog, Willow, along the banks of the River Wyre on Friday, January 27. Nicola was last seen walking by the river near Garstang Road at around 9.20am that morning, shortly after dropping her daughters off at school.
Her disappearance sparked a massive search, ranging from the riverside bench, where her phone was found, all the way to Morecambe Bay. This weekend, Nicola's friends tied a series of handwritten messages on yellow ribbons which were placed on a bridge over the River Wyre in St Michael's on Wyre – near to where the mum-of-two went missing.

One of the messages written by her loved ones read: "Nikki, I love you! Come home now!" Another said: "We need you home Nik" and a third added: "Never give up hope."
Dozens of the ribbons and messages were left on the bridge near to the missing persons poster for Nicola, which urged people to contact police with any information on the mortgage advisor's whereabouts.
The search for Nicola has now been expanded to Morecambe Bay 18 miles away. The search will involve combing inlets and marshland at the Wyre Estuary
Lancashire Police said their "main working hypothesis" is that the mum-of-two fell into the river, and that her body has yet to be found. The force earlier ruled out third-party involvement but on Friday said it continued to "look at all the potential scenarios to eliminate them".
The 45-year-old was last seen wearing a long, knee-length black quilted gilet with a hood. She had a black Engelbert Strauss coat underneath which had long sleeves and came to her waist.
Nicola was wearing tight black jeans and had long green walking socks tucked into her jeans, and size 5 ankle-length green wellington boots from Next. Her hair was tied into a ponytail and she was wearing a pale blue Fitbit.
