A digital image of an unidentified woman, whose drowned body was pulled from the River Thames 45 years ago, has been released for the first time.

It is part of a fresh appeal to identify the "Lady in the Thames" found at the foot of Vauxhall Bridge in central London in 1977.

The body of the woman was found at the bottom of the stairs leading to the south bank of the Thames by Vauxhall Bridge.

A post-mortem examination estimated her age to be between 30 and 35 when she was recovered, 5ft 6in tall, with brown eyes, and short brown hair.

She was also smartly-dressed and wearing black trousers, a blue overcoat, black shoes and a red and white striped blouse.

She seems very recognizable. I hope the right person sees the appeal!

New picture may hold clue to solving 45-year-old mystery of dead woman in Thames

Missing person’s charity Locate International worked with artist Hew Morrison to create the image from photographs taken at the scene

“Many people remember where they were when they heard of Elvis Presley’s death, or what they were doing for the Queen’s Silver Jubilee, so we are hoping that this image, set within the context of that culturally significant year, will jog someone’s memory.

“Even if your information feels insignificant, it could be the key to solving this incredibly sad case.

He said he hoped the new image would “provide a vital visual prompt for people who may known” the woman.''

''Anyone with information is asked to contact the charity at: https://locate.international''

She certainly doesn't sound homeless from her clothing description. I wonder if she was foreign to England - she looks maybe middle Eastern to me?
