Hazel Lightfoot

Hazel Lightfoot was a close friend of Jackie Ingram's and her matron of honour when she married Mike Baldwin in July 1991.

As Jackie put together her outfit for the wedding on the day in question, Hazel was pre-occupied with making sure the bride had something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. The first two were taken care of by Jackie wearing an old petticoat with her ensemble, and Hazel put a blue handkerchief in Jackie's handbag as her something blue. For something borrowed, Hazel offered Jackie the garter she'd worn at her wedding, to which Jackie agreed after momentarily baulking at the idea.

Following the reception, Jackie sent Hazel to find her driver to make sure he was ready to set off from the Midland Hotel on time.

Mere days later, Jackie called Hazel over 17 Elmgate Gardens, the Baldwins' residence, to confide in her that Mike had used her money to buy his ex-girlfriend Alma Sedgewick's cafe and to ask Hazel's advice on whether to dump Mike. Mike had sworn to Jackie that they hadn't lost any money and the deal was done without Alma's knowledge but Jackie was unconvinced. Comparing the situation to the problems she had with her husband Greg, Hazel advised Jackie to find out if Mike was being truthful and, should he be vindicated, to turn a blind eye, which in her opinion was a necessary evil in a long marriage.
