'My mum fell into a pub cellar and died while preparing for my birthday party'

A mum tragically died after falling into the cellar of a Carmarthenshire pub after going there to decorate a function room for her daughter's 50th birthday party. Olwen Collier went to the Stag and Pheasant in Llandeilo Road, Carmel, on Thursday, January 12, to carry out the preparations for her daughter, Allison Raymond's, milestone celebrations.
