Pauline added: ‘I too would like to thank the services who were very kind, but I would especially like to thank a couple who live in Rembrandt Court and provided us with tea and blankets and let us go into their flat. Also of course the church people & wider community. I have been surprised and touched at their generosity. Thank you all,’

Gilly said: ‘This has been a difficult and challenging time for us all. I would like to thank the emergency services, St. John's Church and local residents, especially Matt for supplying us with whisky and coats on the night. Subsequent days saw the local community showing unbelievable acts of kindness and generosity and I cannot thank you all enough’.

Roshan said: ‘I too agree with what Jackie and Tracie have said. I would also like to add that other residents of Rembrandt Court were amazing looking after us especially Matt and Donna from the flats and Marie and a lovely young Asian girl I don't know, who was superb with me. Thank you to you all for your wonderful support’.
