Flood Town Mourns Rugby Club Victims

Sky News Headline; says: ' A top-level inquiry will be held into the recent flooding as Tewkesbury mourns the loss of a father and a son who died while pumping flood water. Bram Lane, who died alongside his son Chris at their local rugby club was described as a "lynchpin" of the community who lived for the sport. When everyone else went home, the pair decided to carry on pumping water from the cellar of Mr Lane senior's beloved club which lies next to the town's ancient abbey.

It is believed they used a petrol-powered pump because of a power cut and may have been overcome by the fumes or electrocuted as they worked.

Police discovered their bodies this morning after the alarm was raised.
