A daughter has told of the awful moment her mum was struck by lightning as they sheltered under a tree after a storm broke at the end of an "amazing" holiday in Croatia. In an emotional tribute to popular physiotherapy and pilates instructor Daniella DiMambro, who had her own studio in Nottingham, daughter Emily DiMambro-Mosscrop recalls the life-changing day when the freak incident happened on a beach in Croatia - and she lost her mum forever.
Eighteen-year-old Emily and her brother, 15, had set out on a last-minute backpacking two-week trip to the country with their mum on August 8. Their first destination was the city of Dubrovnik, in southern Croatia fronting the Adriatic Sea, and they island-hopped before reaching Split, Croatia's second-largest city.
Emily, who has lived in Nottingham all her life, told Nottinghamshire Live she went with her mum for a two-hour walk around a national park before they sunbathed on Kasjuni Beach, throwing down their towels on the sand.
