Workmates' memorial plans for tragic Joanna Yeates

Former work colleagues of Joanna Yeates are planning a series of lasting memorials to remember her.

The design firm BDP, where she worked as a landscape architect alongside her boyfriend Greg Reardon, 27, is planning to create a small garden of remembrance at its Bristol studio.

It will also sponsor an annual landscape design prize in her memory for students at Gloucestershire University, where she studied, create a book of remembrance which will include an anthology of the 25-year-old's work, and dedicate a charity cycle ride between the firm's UK offices to her.

Money raised will go to charities of her family's choice.

Keith Pavey, head of BDP's Bristol studio, said: "We will not forget Jo and we hope the above will collectively become a lasting tribute to her."

On Monday, Miss Yeates's next-door neighbour Vincent Tabak, 32, made his third court appearance since being charged with her murder. The Dutch engineer was remanded into custody until a hearing at Bristol Crown Court on 4 May.
