A club steward lost her mother's ashes during a terrifying blaze which burned down her home and her place of work.
Amanda Findlay was left homeless after the Working's Men's Club in Haltwhistle, Northumberland, went up in flames in December. The 54-year-old, who lived above the club, was just about to go to bed when she noticed a strange smell and smoke in the upstairs bar.
When she went downstairs to investigate, Amanda saw flames behind the bar and rang 999 as she ran outside without any shoes on. Her seven-year-old mini cockerpoo Rags had followed her downstairs and out of the building.
