Nestled between fields, on the banks of a winding river, sits the quaint village of St Michael's on Wyre. Fewer than 700 people live there, the majority of those aged over 50.
Day by day, the church bells ring, as parents safely walk their children to school and wave them goodbye. It's ordinarily a place of friendly smiles and nods, with an atmosphere of quiet contentment.
That calm was shattered when the village found itself in the eye of a global media storm that no-one could have expected.
