The pictures are being used in a calendar to raise funds for the foundation set up by her parents John and Lorna Norgrove, who live on the island of Lewis.

The aid worker, who grew up in the Western Isles, was working in Afghanistan for the second time in 2010. She was killed by a grenade thrown by a member of the US special forces in an attempt to rescue her from her kidnappers. She was 36.
