"It was awful at first and it was a set of circumstances nobody could predict.

"Luckily my sister and I made it through to the service with our families but my mum's elderly brother had his own special service with Eve on the A303.

"He was distraught at first but I said to him that mum would have smiled. We bet she was looking down laughing hysterically and it's one to remember," Tracey said.
