A memorial day has been planned for a British backpacker who died trying to climb Vietnam's highest mountain.

Aiden Webb, 22, from Norwich, set off to scale Fansipan mountain alone on June 3.

He died after slipping down a waterfall and was found six days later.

His family and girlfriend Bluebell Baughan, from White Notley, have arranged the event on Jesus Green in Cambridge, on July 31.

It will include personal tributes, "memory tables" and a candlelit vigil.

Miss Baughan, 24, from White Notley, who met Mr Webb when they were drama students at Cambridge's Anglia Ruskin University, told the BBC it was "a day for all of us to get together to celebrate Aiden's life".

Experienced climber Mr Webb injured himself climbing the 3,100m (10,300ft) high mountain.

Gazette:

He managed to contact Miss Baughan by phone, who was in the nearby town of Sapa, and raised the alarm.

Trying to make it to safety Mr Webb slipped down an 18m waterfall and died on impact.

His funeral took place near Norwich on July 15.

Miss Baughan hopes the Celebrate Aiden Webb's Life memorial day will be a fitting tribute to her boyfriend, who would have turned 23 on Wednesday, July 27.

Miss Baughan told the BBC: "We'll play Aiden's favourite music. He loved The Doors as well as blues.

"This day is purely to show our unity in the love we hold for Aiden."
