Comedian and television star Russell Brand has paid tribute to the late Jade Goody.
The comedy star said that he spent some time with Goody at the Edinburgh Festival.
Brand wrote in a blog: "We all hung out, me my mum, Jade, some people from the agency and a few of my mates."
"She was a right laugh, she joined in with everyone and created a garrulous giddy vibe in bars and cars that elevated the perfunctory time between shows into something which retrospectively seems more special now than it did then."
"One of the charges often levelled at Jade was that she was just a normal girl with no trade or practised skills."
"Well people didn't care and our heroes are not prescribed to us, we have the right to choose them and the people chose Jade."
