The singer, who starred in family pop group The Nolans alongside Bernie, shared a picture of herself alongside her younger sister on social media.

Bernie died in 2013 from cancer.

Linda wrote: “Happy 60th birthday Bernie… What a party it would have been, my little sister joining the 60s club!

“Not a day goes by when I don’t think of you and miss you.

“My heart aches just to hug you one more time and to hear your voice.

“Until we meet again, I love you so much.”

She urged people to send her a photo of them honouring Bernie by having a drink, “specifically a Moscow mule”.
