Candles and flowers were left near to where the 34-year-old's possessions were found.

A Go-Fund Me page has also been set up to support her partner and family.

Victoria, known as Vixx, had been missing since October 1.

Officers said a body had been recovered from the river on Tuesday.

Tributes paid included: "What an amazing turn out yesterday was in remembrance of our beautiful Vixx. Thank you all that came and laid flowers and candles.

"Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. For the comments, for the shares for the likes. My beautiful sister was shared far and wide. We can now find peace and eventually the shock will subside. North Yorkshire Police, well I am eternally grateful. The community came together and today showed how much our she was loved."
