A devastated couple have described how a fire ripped through their family home just minutes before it was due to be viewed by dozens of potential buyers at an estate agent’s open morning.
Mark and Sharon Wibberley were forced to flee, pausing only to grab a few treasured possessions and their pet parrot, as flames devoured the house they shared for 35 years.
The news is all the more tragic given that the couple, aged 57 and 56, don’t have home insurance.
