Adam Maxwell has paid tribute to wife Kirsty (pictured) on what would have been her 28th birthday

The grieving husband of Kirsty Maxwell has paid tribute to his ‘beautiful girl’ on what would have been her 28th birthday.

Adam Maxwell released a statement on social media this morning saying he will remember his wife’s ‘big smile and loving heart’ and will cherish all the memories they made together.

The 27-year-old, from Livingston, West Lothian, also revealed that this week will mark their first wedding anniversary as husband and wife.

Adam revealed that the family will be paying tribute to Kirsty this week privately and praised the 28 ‘lucky’ years that family and friends got to spend with her.

He posted the heartfelt message with a previously unreleased personal photograph of Kirsty beaming at the camera.

The touching tribute comes just four months after the tragic newlywed plunged 100ft to her death during a friends hen-do in Benidorm, Spain.

Writing on the Kirsty Maxwell Information Appeal Facebook page, set up by Adam and Kirsty’s family, he said: ‘After four hard long months we now face another very difficult week without Kirsty.

‘Today would have marked Kirsty’s 28th birthday. 28 years of wonderful memories, 28 years we were lucky to have her.

‘Followed in a few days time by what should have marked our 1st wedding anniversary together as husband and wife.

‘So many happy memories amongst so much sadness.
