Floral tributes have been left outside a home after a fire ripped through the property, tragically killing one person and seriously injuring another.
A man and a woman, both in their seventies, were pulled from the house in Minorca Close, Sunderland, after reports of a fire at around 4am on Monday, October 31 - though the woman sadly died at the scene.
The blaze is not believed to have been started deliberately, Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue said, and the property has now been boarded up - with flowers and tributes appearing in the front garden on Tuesday.
