The investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann has cost more than £10 million, the government has revealed.

Home Office minister Lord Bates said the total cost to the end of June was £10.1 million, with another £2 million budgeted for the next year.
Madeleine was three when she went missing from the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz eight years ago.
Last year Met Police officers went to Portugal to continue investigations.
Detectives observed Portuguese police questioning 11 "people of interest".
Lord Bates disclosed the full cost of the investigation in an answer to a written parliamentary question from Lord Black of Brentwood.
"The total cost of the investigation in to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann (Operation Grange), up until end of June 2015, is £10.1m. The Home Office has budgeted £2m for the investigation in 2015/16," he said.
"The Home Office funds this work from the special grant budget.
"The level of funding provided to the Metropolitan Police in relation to this investigation is reviewed regularly and will continue to be monitored."
The Met's Operation Grange was set up in 2011 after Prime Minister David Cameron asked the force to "bring their expertise" to the inquiry following a request from Kate and Gerry McCann.
A spokesman for Madeleine McCann's parents, Kate and Gerry, said they were "incredibly grateful" to the police for their investigation, and to the prime minister and the Home Office for "making it possible".

Venezuelan opposition candidate Henrique Capriles has called on voters to rid the country of a government that has "lost its way".

"The government is now riddled with corruption, hatred and evil," he told tens of thousands of his supporters who marched through the streets of Caracas.
Venezuelans will go to the polls on 14 April to choose a successor to the late president, Hugo Chavez.
He died last month after 14 years in office.
Mr Capriles, a 40-year-old lawyer and politician, says he wants to encourage free-market economies and tackle crime, without neglecting strong social policies.
He is very critical of Mr Chavez's left-wing policies and says he is inspired by the Brazilian model of former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, whose government managed to achieve economic growth and lift millions of people out of poverty.
"We have a nation which is calling for solutions to its problems and a government that has lost its way," Mr Capriles told supporters at a rally in the capital.
Opinion polls say the government's candidate - acting President Nicolas Maduro - has a strong lead over his rival.
But Mr Capriles called on all Venezuelans to go to the polls next Sunday and do their civic duty. He said Mr Maduro's candidacy had "crashed".
Mr Maduro has visited the states of Apure, near the Colombian border, and Guarico, in Central Venezuela.
As he arrived in Guarico, he said the Venezuelan people and the armed forces would make sure there was continuity to the legacy of Hugo Chavez.
The country needs to be protected, said Mr Maduro, and "as a son of Chavez I will make sure it is from 15 April, when I become president of Venezuela".
During a rally in Amazonas state on Saturday, Mr Maduro put a curse on those not voting for him next Sunday.
He likened his main rival candidate, Henrique Capriles, to Spanish conquerors fighting indigenous people in the 16th Century.
"If anyone among the people votes against Nicolas Maduro, he is voting against himself, and the curse of Maracapana is falling on him," he said.
He was referring to a 16th Century battle when Spanish colonial forces inflicted a decisive defeat on indigenous fighters.


MSPs have passed a motion warning that patient safety is at risk amid a "recruitment crisis" in the NHS.

Holyrood backed a series of opposition amendments following a Scottish government debate on patient safety.
They included a Lib Dem mention of a "recruitment crisis" and Labour warnings that services are "near breaking point".
This left the SNP voting against Shona Robison's amended motion, but they were defeated by opposition members.
Health Secretary Ms Robison had put forward a motion highlighting the work of the government's "world-leading" patient safety programme.
It said the programme "represents the international benchmark for safe care" and noted "the huge challenges that face the NHS in meeting the demands of an ageing population and those of integrating health and social care services".
Members unanimously backed a Conservative amendment from Donald Cameron adding that the health service is "facing severe workforce and staffing issues", and that "further action on staffing must be a priority".
Another amendment from Labour's Anas Sarwar was then passed by 62 votes to 61, adding in claims that "services are facing a situation in which demand is often outstripping supply". It also cited a report from the British Medical Association that the NHS is "near breaking point".
A further amendment from Lib Dem Alex Cole-Hamilton highlighted a "recruitment crisis" in the NHS, raising fears it could "pose a risk to patient safety", and was passed by the same margin.
The amended motion was then passed by 62 votes to 61, with SNP members voting against.


A petition which seeks to recognise the 1984 anti-Sikh violence in India as "genocide" has been tabled in the Australian parliament.

The petition was moved by MP Warren Enstch on Thursday.
As long as the violence "continues to be referred to as 'anti-Sikh riots' there can be no closure for the Sikh community", he said in the petition.
Nearly 3,000 Sikhs were killed after the assassination of then PM Indira Gandhi by her two Sikh bodyguards.
The trigger for Mrs Gandhi's killing was the storming of the Golden Temple in Amritsar city four months earlier to flush out Sikh militants fighting for an independent homeland of Khalistan (Land of the Pure).
The petition, submitted by Mr Enstch, has been signed by 4,453 people.
It also called on the Australian government to urge India to take "all reasonable measures" to bring those responsible for the 1984 violence to justice.
A recent government inquiry found "credible evidence" that some leaders of Mrs Gandhi's Congress Party had incited crowds to attack Sikhs during the riots and that they were not spontaneous.
But 28 years after the riots, there have been no convictions in any of the cases.


Barcelona forward Neymar has paid his buyout clause of 222m euros (£200m), the Spanish club say.

Neymar, 25, is set to sign for Paris St-Germain for a world record fee, after telling Barca he wanted to leave on Wednesday.
The Brazil international's lawyers paid the sum in person at Barca's offices.
Earlier on Thursday, Spain's top league La Liga rejected an attempt to pay it the fee over concerns PSG are violating Uefa's Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
In a statement, Barca said they "will pass on to Uefa the details of the above operation so that they can determine the disciplinary responsibilities that may arise from this case".
The club said previously that they would report PSG to Uefa, European football's governing body, for a breach of FFP rules.
"On Thursday afternoon Neymar's legal representatives visited in person the club's offices and made the payment of 222m euros in the player's name with regards to the unilateral termination of the contract that united both parties," Barca's statement read.
In Spain a player must buy himself out of his contract.
This is usually done by depositing the amount of the buyout clause with La Liga - Spain's equivalent of the Premier League - to release the player from his contract. The league then passes the money to the selling club.
"We can confirm that the lawyers of the player have come to La Liga to deposit the clause and that it has been rejected," La Liga told BBC Sport before the payment was made directly to Barcelona.
FFP rules, first implemented during the 2011-12 season, stipulate that European clubs cannot outspend what they earn by more than 30m euros.
PSG are backed by money from Gulf state Qatar and La Liga president Javier Tebas has accused the French club of "financial doping".
He told AS: "La Liga is positing that state-backed clubs that compete using 'financial doping' could destabilise professional football in Europe."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has criticised the deal, saying: "Once a country owns a club everything is possible and it becomes difficult to respect Financial Fair Play."
April 2016 - Rumours of a move away from the Nou Camp surface when Neymar's agent Wagner Ribeiro says the Brazilian striker has a £154m release clause in his contract which expires in 2018, and would discuss a move to PSG if the French champions showed an interest.
October 2016 - Neymar signs a new five-year contract until 2021, increasing his release clause.
May 2017 - Rumours resurface again after Barcelona end a disappointing La Liga campaign and Neymar fails to win the Ballon d'Or.
29 June 2017 - Speculation intensifies over Neymar's future as transfer window opens.
17 July 2017 - Reports emerge in the Spanish media suggesting PSG have met the player's release clause.
19 July 2017 - Barcelona club president Josep Maria Bartomeu tells BBC Sport Neymar will not leave.
20 July 2017 - PSG coach Unai Emery tells French daily newspaper L'Equipe they needed a player of the calibre of Neymar to compete with the big clubs.
21 July 2017 - Neymar posts an Instagram picture of himself in thoughtful contemplation, sparking a fresh wave of speculation.
23 July 2017 - Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde shrugs off PSG reports, and tells reporters in New Jersey: "We want Neymar with us. We know his value on the pitch and what he brings to the locker room."
26 July 2017 - Defender Gerard Pique posts a picture of himself and Neymar on Twitter with the caption 'Se queda' ('He stays'). Pique later downplays the post, saying it was a "gut feeling" rather than a hard fact, but adds he hopes Neymar stays at Barcelona.
29 July 2017 - Barca striker Luis Suarez tells reporters in Miami: "As soon as he clarifies the situation it's better for us and him. He will have his say when he is ready and as a team-mate I will support him. Our relationship won't change. We want him to stay."
30 July 2017 - Neymar's Brazilian team-mate Dani Alves says he "hoped Neymar would join him at PSG" but insists he isn't using his personal friendship to sway the Barcelona forward's decision.
31 July 2017 - La Liga chairman Javier Tebas says he would file a complaint with Uefa for FFP breaches against PSG if any move is made for the player- "We will make a complaint to Uefa and if they don't do anything we will take it to the competition tribunals in Switzerland and Brussels. And, from there, we don't rule out going through the courts in France and Spain."
2 August 2017 - Neymar is given permission by Barcelona to leave after telling the club he sees his future elsewhere.
3 August 2017 - La Liga rejects an attempt by Neymar's lawyers to buy out his contract - so they pay it directly to Barcelona instead.
* 222m euros is worth £200m at the time of writing (3 August). With fluctuating exchange rates, it was worth £198m when the story first emerged this week


A training camp where a soldier was accidentally killed last month had 119 other accidents causing injury last year, Ministry of Defence figures show.

Pte Conor McPherson, 24, from Paisley, Renfrewshire, was shot during night live-firing training in Otterburn, Northumberland.
Berwick Conservative MP Anne-Marie Trevelyan said she was "deeply concerned" by the number of injuries.
Defence Minister Mark Lancaster said "reporting of injuries is improving".
More exercises were also taking place at the site, he said.
The 2015-16 figure is more than double each of the previous two year's totals, 54 and 58 respectively.
There were 18 injuries recorded in 2011-12.
Mr Lancaster admitted the latest figures "may not include all injuries, as some minor injuries may have been treated immediately and not reported".
Ms Trevelyan, who has Otterburn in her constituency, uncovered the figures via a written question to the department.
"Following the tragic death of a soldier during a live firing exercise last month, I was concerned to find out whether we are doing everything possible to ensure the safety of our armed forces when they are training on the Otterburn Ranges," she said.
Pte McPherson, from The Black Watch, 3rd Battalion, the Royal Regiment of Scotland, died from a "serious head wound".
Otterburn Training Area is the second largest live firing range in the country and has been used for military training since 1911.
In April the Unite union warned that firing ranges had become "death traps" since the role of lookout wardens, who prevent people walking into the line of fire, had been withdrawn.
The MoD said the Defence Safety Authority was investigating Pte McPherson's death.


Scotland's Finance Secretary John Swinney has said talk about reduced council budgets impacting on local services was "frankly over the top".

Many of the country's 32 local authorities had voiced concerns about a 2% fall in their income.
Mr Swinney told the local government and regeneration committee he did not underestimate the "on-going challenges".
However, he believed councils had been given a "very credible settlement".
I think some of the talk has been frankly over the top about the impact of the settlement for local government.
The minister said that in 2016/17, local authority spending would be cut by £350m, which equates to a 2% reduction.
Mr Swinney insisted that headline figure was not the full story.
He explained to MSPs: "When we take into account that £250m is going to be spent through the integrated joint boards to support expenditure on services which local authorities are key participants, and given the guidance that I have issued to local authorities as to what they can expect that fund to support, that result is a net reduction in the local authority budget of about £100m, out of £16bn, which equates to less than 1%."
For the last seven years local authorities have carried out a deal with the Scottish government whereby council tax bills have remained frozen.
However, this year Moray Council considered a move to increase council tax bills by 18% to ease the cuts burden.
It decided not to go ahead with the plan because it would have resulted in the Scottish government withholding £1.1m to offset the freeze.
Council leader Stewart Cree said: "We simply cannot proceed with the proposal as the extra penalties it would now attract would have a devastating effect on the services people in Moray tell us they want protected.
"So to make ends meet this year the administration have decided to defer certain works and spending, and to draw the remaining shortfall from reserves."
Responding to a question about Moray Council's proposal to drop the tax freeze, Mr Swinney said: "I think some of the talk we have heard has been frankly over the top about the impact of the settlement on local government.
"I don't underestimate the on-going challenges in delivering public services within a constrained financial environment."
He added: "In all, I think the settlement offered to local government is a very credible settlement, it certainly doesn't merit the type of description it has had from certain voices within local authorities and it most definitely does not merit an 18% increase in the council tax."
Separately, Scotland's first minister has called on councils to "do the right thing" and accept the funding deal being offered by the Scottish government.
Nicola Sturgeon insisted local authorities were being given a "good deal" as part of the budget, with a package containing resources that will help them pay the living wage to care workers.
She made the plea as the 9 February deadline loomed for local authorities to sign up to the financial package.


"No pasa nada" is a saying you often hear in Mexico.

It means "nothing happens" but people often use it reassuringly as in: "Don't worry about it, it's nothing."
When it comes to solving murders, "no pasa nada" is a pretty accurate description.
According to Mexico's statistics institute, 98% of homicides in 2012 went unsolved.
The culture of impunity is frightening.
The 31 July murder of photojournalist Ruben Espinosa along with four women in a middle-class neighbourhood of Mexico City is a crime that many fear will once again go unsolved.
Mr Espinosa worked as a photojournalist in the eastern state of Veracruz for the investigative magazine Proceso, among others.
He had recently left Veracruz for Mexico City because of safety fears.
Veracruz is the most dangerous place to be a journalist in Mexico, which itself is deemed one of the most dangerous countries for journalists.
Nationwide, 88 journalists have been murdered since 2000, according to free speech organisation Article 19.
Fourteen journalists from Veracruz state alone have died since current governor Javier Duarte took office in 2010.
That makes Veracruz the most lethal state for journalists out of Mexico's 31 states and its federal district.
Relations between the Veracruz governor and the media have been tense. In July, Governor Duarte accused some journalists of having criminal ties.
He went on to warn them to "behave", arguing that if anything were to happen to them, it would be him who would be "crucified".
Some local journalists saw this as a thinly veiled threat against them.
Human rights investigator Patrick Timmons says that while Veracruz may currently be the most risky place for journalists in Mexico, other states are not immune from violence against the media.
"We have to understand that what we're seeing in Veracruz has happened in other states and it will happen in other states too," he warns.
Mexican authorities investigating the multiple murder said they were keeping all lines of investigation open, including robbery.
But friends and relatives of Mr Espinosa think he was deliberately targeted, pointing to the execution-style nature of the killing.
All five victims were shot in the head. Mr Espinosa's body showed signs of torture and three of the four women were raped.
So far, one suspect has been arrested.
Investigators said his fingerprints had been found at the crime scene and matched to a database which showed he had a criminal record for rape and assault.
But Emily Edmonds-Poli, associate professor of political science at the University of San Diego and author of a paper on violence against journalists in Mexico, is sceptical.
"That's so old-hat in Mexico, you pick up the nearest criminal and you accuse them of the crime," she said.
"I don't believe anyone is fooled by that," she added,
Many of the journalists killed in Mexico reported on organised crime and drug trafficking, considered inherently risky beats.
But Prof Edmonds-Poli thinks their killings should not be dismissed that easily.
"Many of them have covered corruption beats or politics, they are not necessarily chasing ambulances and trying to report on cartel activities," she argues.
She says that "it's the nexus between drug-trafficking organisations and the government, and that's why this really isn't solely a drug-related issue".
"It's about how the state deals with being exposed," she adds.
The fact that Mr Espinosa was killed in Mexico City after having fled Veracruz, where he had received death threats, is seen by many as a dark development.
Mexico City had for several years been seen as a safe haven, a bubble for journalists.
But that bubble has now burst.
Free speech group Article 19 argues that Mr Espinosa's murder marks a new level of violence against journalists in Mexico.
"If you get pursued into Mexico City, that shows another level of determination on the part of people who are interested in silencing journalists," said Emily Edmonds-Poli.
Ruben Espinosa's murder shows that it is no longer true that in Mexico City "no pasa nada".


The shoe retailer Clarks is to start making shoes in the UK once again.

The firm has announced it is to open a new manufacturing unit, featuring "robot-assisted" technology, at its headquarters in Street, Somerset.
Up to 300,000 pairs a year of the footwear firm's desert boots will be made at the facility, creating up to 80 technical and managerial jobs.
The company started making shoes in the county in 1825 but production was moved from to the Far East in 2005.
The company's desert boots are currently made in Vietnam and India and a spokesman said it will continue to source its range from its existing supply chain.
The last remaining Clarks plant in the UK, in Millom in Cumbria, closed in 2006.


A shocking picture of a motorway smash which left a driver dead and another severely injured has been released to warn about using a phone while driving.

Christy George, 38, from Hucknall, was jailed in July for causing a crash on the M1 in Leicestershire after becoming distracted on her phone in 2014.
Her car crashed into a lorry which ploughed onto the opposite carriageway in an eight vehicle pile-up.
Leicestershire Police released the image in a warning film.
The release of the film follows the announcement that penalty points and fines for drivers caught using handheld mobile phones are to double next year.
More on this and other Leicestershire stories
George deleted a record of calls made during her journey after her Skoda hit a lorry which crashed through to the opposite carriageway.
It spilled its load of beer barrels and crashed into a BMW travelling in the opposite direction, killing Murray Simpson, from London.
Liese Bowers-Straw, from Nottinghamshire, was also involved in the crash which broke her neck in two places, tore muscles across her hips and stomach, and injured her brain.
She has not returned to work and struggles to leave her home because of the trauma.
She said: "I remember thinking 'that's it, I'm a goner, I'm dead' and then I don't remember anything else until the following day.
"The collision has completely changed my way of life. I have gone from having a career I loved... to being a prisoner in my own home doing absolutely nothing."
Det Con Pete Davies said it was the "largest collision site" he had ever investigated.
He said: "Someone died in this collision and Liese has been left with the most appalling injuries as a result of someone who was too selfish to wait to make a call."
George was jailed for five years and banned from the road for 10 years.


Proposals to introduce standardised cigarette packaging in England are "flawed", the tobacco industry says.

The Tobacco Manufacturers Association said calls for plain packaging were based on "dogma", not evidence.
And UKIP leader Nigel Farage called the move an "appalling intrusion into consumer choice".
If approved by Parliament by May, a new law could be in force by 2016. Ministers and health groups say the change will save thousands of lives.
It follows a series of consultations on the issue.
Wales has already voted to accept any Westminster legislation on the matter. Scotland and Northern Ireland are also expected to vote on whether to back the move.
Public Health Minister Jane Ellison told MPs on Wednesday that the Conservative-Lib Dem coalition government's move was likely to have a positive impact on public health, particularly for children.
Labour has already pledged to ban images on packets if it wins power and doctors say the move would save thousands of lives.
BBC health editor Hugh Pym said the changes could come into force next year if Parliament passes legislation before the end of March, although, he said, a legal challenge by the tobacco industry was "highly likely".
In the House of Commons, Ms Ellison said all the evidence pointed to standardised packaging having a positive impact - although she warned of a potential legal challenge from the cigarette industry which strongly opposes the move.
"We cannot be complacent. We all know the damage smoking does to health," she said.
"This government is completely committed to protecting children from the harm that tobacco causes."
A review of the public health implications of standardised packaging last year by Sir Cyril Chantler concluded it was very likely their introduction would lead to a modest but important reduction in the uptake and prevalence of smoking.
MPs are now expected to be given a free vote on the issue before Parliament is dissolved ahead of the general election campaign, which begins in April.
Professor Dame Sally Davies, chief medical officer for England, welcomed the move.
"We need to keep up our efforts on tobacco control and standardised packaging is an important part of that," she said.
The British Lung Foundation and other health campaigners said plain packaging would reduce the appeal of cigarettes to young people.
In Australia over the past two years there has been a fierce statistical battle between the tobacco industry and anti-smoking groups over whether plain packaging works.
Aussie smokers have been picking up their cigarettes in bland brown packs, plastered with pictures of black tar-stained lungs, yellow rotting teeth and pink bulging tumours since December 2012.
Since then the number-crunchers on either side of the debate have been putting out research to claim that it has either been a success or a failure.
The tobacco industry generally says plain packaging hasn't reduced smoking. Well they would say that, wouldn't they.
Anti-smoking groups say plain packaging has reduced smoking. Well they would say that, wouldn't they.
So I'm going to stick my neck out. It appears to be working, but relatively slowly.
Read more from John.
Australia became the first country to ban all images and words - apart from public health warnings - from cigarette packs in December 2012.
Simon Clark, from the pro-smoking lobbying group Forest, suggested there was substantial public opposition to the move in the UK and played down its impact in Australia.
He told BBC Breakfast: "There's no evidence that children start smoking because of packaging.
"Yes, smoking rates have continued to go down in Australia - but that's just in line with historical trends and we would expect the government to have at least waited for definitive evidence from Australia which it hasn't got."
The Department of Health said the proposed design of the standardised packs had yet to be decided but released some examples of how they may look.
The examples are dull brown on the outside and white on the inside. Apart from health warnings, the brand or variant name will be the only text allowed.
Shadow health minister Luciana Berger said the change had been a "long time coming" and that standardised packaging would be a vital step in dealing with the "glitzy appeal" of smoking.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage tweeted: "Plain packaging is an appalling intrusion into consumer choice and the operation of the free market. Jobs and tax revenue would suffer."
Further tobacco controls are due to come into force in May 2016, when the European Tobacco Products Directive will require larger picture health warnings on packets and will ban flavourings, including menthol.


AC Milan midfielder Kevin Constant walked off the pitch during a pre-season tournament match against fellow Serie A side Sassuolo on Tuesday in response to alleged racist abuse.

The 26-year-old Guinea international kicked the ball into the crowd and left the pitch in the 34th minute.
Milan sent on a substitute, and an announcement warned the game would be stopped if further incidents occurred.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has announced an immediate inquiry.
A statement from FIGC read: "The Federal Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation to ascertain the extent of the racist incident that took place at the Stadio del Tricolore in Reggio Emilia during the Milan-Sassuolo match, which saw AC Milan player Kevin Constant the subject of chants from some supporters in the stands."
Constant's actions emulate
The Ghana international sparked a walk-off during AC Milan's match against Italian lower division club Pro Patria by picking up the ball midway through the first half and kicking it into the crowd before removing his shirt - he was then followed off by both sets of players and officials.
While Boateng had plenty of backing, it appears that Milan are less supportive of Constant's decision to leave the field.
The club said in a statement: "This was not a decision he should have taken upon himself to make.
"Despite his more than understandable reasons and the anger he must have felt, AC Milan would like to remind everyone that the only people responsible for intervening against any manifestations that offend the human dignity, which includes racial discrimination, are the referee in charge of the match and the head of public safety."
However, the statement added that racism deserves "zero tolerance".
In May, Fifa announced new measures to tackle racism, declaring that teams could be relegated or expelled from competitions for serious incidents of racism as a result of tough new powers.


Tributes have poured in for celebrated Indian actress Zohra Sehgal who has died in the capital, Delhi, aged 102.

Sehgal had been ill for several days and suffered a heart attack at a city hospital on Thursday evening.
In a career spanning more than seven decades, Sehgal entertained millions of people through her performances in films and on stage.
She began her career with well-known dancer Uday Shankar in 1935 and later performed in the theatre.
Her roles in Bollywood films like Cheeni Kum received extensive praise.
The feisty actress was awarded the Padma Vibhushan, India's second highest civilian award, in 2010 for her work.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi led tributes to the actress on Twitter.
"Zohra Sehgal made a mark through her acting, which is admired across generations. Saddened on her demise," he wrote.
Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan tweeted:   "What a journey and what an immensely loveable co-star! Prayers for her blessed soul!!"
At 94, Sehgal played Bachchan's mother in hit Hindi film, Cheeni Kum, and critics said the chemistry between the two worked very well.
"A journey of million miles overloaded with smiles. Even at a 100 plus I have yet to meet a naughtier young girlâ€¦..will miss you Zohraâ€¦" tweeted Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan.
Actress Priyanka Chopra tweeted: "102 and a legacy that will  always be a part of Indian cinema. It was an honour to know #ZohraSehgal and to b a part of films while she was. RIP".
Historian Irfan Habib said Sehgal was a "woman who lived a full life on her own terms...[her passing] is a great loss to art and culture".
Sehgal was born in 1912 in the town of Saharanpur in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.
She stepped into the world of acting by joining left-wing political theatre group Indian Peoples' Theatre Association (IPTA), which dominated the Indian cultural scene in the 1940s.
She was associated with the doyen of Indian theatre, Prithviraj Kapoor, for more than a decade.
In 1962, Sehgal went to London on a drama scholarship and worked in several English films and popular television productions like My Beautiful Launderette, Tandoori Nights and The Jewel in the Crown.
Sehgal returned to India in the 1990s at the age of 80 and continued acting until the age of 95.
Her most popular Hindi films included Dil Se (From the Heart) and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (I Have Given My Heart, Darling).


Austrian police have arrested seven Chinese and Austrian suspects for forcing at least 150 Chinese women to work as prostitutes in brothels.

Women were recruited from China by a Chinese gang that promised them jobs as au pairs or masseuses in Austria.
Police say the victims had to pay up to â‚¬10,000 (Â£8,600;$10,750) for Austrian entry visas and were forced to hand over their passports.
They were kept under constant watch and their earnings were confiscated.
Investigators say gang members threatened the women with violence if they tried to leave.
The women were also transported around the country to work in different brothels after working in Vienna for a period of time.
Police searched more than ten houses and found counterfeit IDs and money, a gun and â‚¬30,000 in cash.


The body of Alan Hawe, who died along with his wife and three children in an apparent murder-suicide, has been exhumed from the family grave in County Cavan.

The bodies of Mr Hawe and his wife Clodagh, and their sons Liam, 13, Niall, 11, and Ryan, six, were found at their home in August last year.
The five were buried together after a funeral Mass in Castlerahan.
Mr Hawe's body was removed earlier on Wednesday .
The exhumation was carried out in the presence of members of the Garda (Irish police).
A cover was erected for privacy and work began about 05:30 local time.
It is understood Mr Hawe's remains must be reburied or cremated within 48 hours of being exhumed.
It is unclear where his remains will be taken.
Mr Hawe was a deputy principal at Castlerahan National School, which his sons, Niall and Ryan, attended and eldest son Liam was a former pupil.
Mrs Hawe was also a teacher and worked at Oristown National School in County Meath.
Notes and documents were discovered by Irish police in the house and a note was found on the back door after a relative raised the alarm.
GardaÃ (Irish police) later said they were not looking for anyone else in relation to the deaths.


Macaque monkeys appear to have become an unlikely roadblock in the development of internet services in the northern Indian city of Varanasi.

The authorities in Varanasi have been increasing the network of optical fibre cables as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's plan of improving internet services in India.
The federal government has planned to lay 700,000 km (435,000 miles) of broadband cable to connect India's 250,000 village clusters within three years.
But officials in the city in Uttar Pradesh state are struggling to stop monkeys from eating the fibre-optic cables, the Reuters news agency reports.
"We cannot move the temples from here. We cannot modify anything here, everything is built up. The monkeys, they destroy all the wires and eat all the wires," communications engineer AP Srivastava told the news agency.
Varanasi, which is also the parliamentary constituency of Mr Modi, is known as as a holy city and millions visit its famous banks along the Ganges river every year.
Many such tourists, and even locals, consider macaque monkeys sacred and often feed them.
Mr Srivastava told the news agency that his team was now looking for alternatives, but there are few to be found.
Varanasi is a crowded city and its infrastructure has hardly changed in the past decades.
Houses and building are too close to each other, making it difficult for authorities to consider laying underground cables.
And chasing away the monkeys is also not an option because it may anger local residents.

Colchester United have recalled striker Macauley Bonne from his loan at National League side Lincoln City.

The 20-year-old had been due to be on loan at Sincil Bank until 26 October.
He scored once in seven games, his only goal a winner against Tranmere, and goes into Colchester's League Two trip to Doncaster on Saturday.
"Would like to thank everyone at Lincoln for making me feel welcomed, really enjoyed my time, all the best for the season," he said on Twitter.


An address to parliament by South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has been halted by opposition MPs.

Mr Zuma was responding to allegations that he had "unduly benefitted" from an upgrade to his private home in Nkandla which cost taxpayers about $23m (Â£14m).
MPs from the new Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) were not satisfied with his explanation and started chanting: "Pay back the money."
Parliament was suspended and security called to oust the EFF group.
Police entered parliament in Cape Town carrying riot shields, tear gas and batons but then aborted their plans to forcibly remove the EFF MPs.
The governing African National Congress (ANC) said it was "appalled" by the behaviour of the EFF parliamentarians.
The Democratic Alliance, the largest opposition party, said the EFF's "theatrics" meant South Africans "did not get answers from the president, to which they were rightfully entitled".
South Africans may be divided over the behaviour of the EFF in parliament but its leader Julius Malema posed questions many here still want answered.
Nkandla remains a sore point for many citizens and the president has been accused of failing to account to the public that elected him into power.
So while they may not support the chanting and disruption to a formal sitting, many are quietly applauding their stand.
Mr Malema has never been one to shy away from confrontation; it was with tough talking that he defended President Jacob Zuma before their fall-out.
However uncomfortable to watch, many see this as South Africa's democracy at work.
It is not clear when the session will resume - possibly on Friday.
Many MPs were waiting to question the president when the session was suspended.
After being pressed by Mr Malema on when he would repay the Nkandla money, Mr Zuma said he had "responded appropriately to parliament" and said it was now in the hands of the government.
The EFF has 25 MPs in the 400-member parliament after gaining 6% of the national vote in May's election.
It was the first election contested by the EFF, led by controversial former youth leader Julius Malema.
He formed the EFF last year following his expulsion from the ANC in 2012.
A one-time ally of Mr Zuma, he had been sacked after the pair fell out, with Mr Malema calling for radical policies to ease poverty.
The EFF often wear red workers' overalls in parliament.


Israel has handed over to the Palestinian Authority the remains of 91 Palestinians who died carrying out attacks against Israel.

The remains include suicide bombers and militants who died in operations as far back as 1975.
The repatriation of the bodies forms part of a deal to end a mass hunger strike by hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
Israeli officials say the transfer is a confidence-building gesture.
However, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has given no indication that he is willing to return to talks.
Coffins containing the remains, which had been interred in numbered graves in an Israeli military cemetery for "enemy combatants", were handed over at dawn.
By Jon DonnisonBBC News, West Bank
Palestinians don't have a state but the ceremony today had some of the trappings of a state funeral. Proceedings were led by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
There was a military feel. A lone bugler played the Last Post and Palestinian security forces offered a salute, firing into the air.
Relatives of the dead then carried the coffins draped in red, black, white and green Palestinian flags and loaded them on to trucks. The remains will now be reburied.
For most Palestinians, these men were martyrs who died fighting for the Palestinian cause. Some were suicide bombers. For Israelis, they were terrorists responsible for the deaths of scores of civilians.
This transfer was part of a deal earlier this month to end a mass hunger strike by hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails. Israel said it was a gesture aimed at building confidence.
Such confidence is in short supply. Direct peace talks between the two sides collapsed in 2010. Most Palestinians and Israelis would say only a fool would be optimistic about a significant breakthrough any time soon.
In pictures: Remains repatriated
The head of the Palestinian general committee for civil affairs said 79 coffins were transferred to Ramallah, where the Palestinian Authority (PA) has its headquarters.
The official said the other 12 were taken to Gaza, which is run by the militant Islamist Hamas movement.
President Abbas, the head of the PA, attended a ceremony at his compound, Muqataa, to receive the coffins, each of them draped in a Palestinian flag.
According to Israeli media, Hamas will hold a full military service for the remains in Gaza, with each coffin receiving a 21-gun salute. They will then be shuttled to various towns for burial.
The repatriation has long been a sensitive issue often subject to prolonged negotiations, the BBC's Jon Donnison in Ramallah says.
The dead are considered martyrs by Palestinians, but terrorists by Israelis, and their remains are used as bargaining chips, he says.
Earlier this month, Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails agreed to end a mass hunger strike, which had been going on for more than two months.
More than 1,500 Palestinians had been refusing food to demand an improvement in conditions.
There were fears of a violent Palestinian backlash, had any of the inmates died.
The mother of one of the dead, Um Ramez Obeid, said the transfer made her "very happy".
"We have waited for this moment for 16 years. The more they talked about the deal to hand over the bodies, the more we hoped his body will be among them.
"God willing they will hand over his body to us, to be buried next to his father at the cemetery. We will visit him, even if he is dead and is in the grave, I feel that he is returned to me."
Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said he hoped the "humanitarian gesture" would help get the peace process back on track.
"Israel is ready for the immediate resumption of peace talks without any preconditions whatsoever," he said.
Direct talks collapsed in December 2010 over Israel's refusal to stop building settlements in the occupied West Bank.


The Royal Mint are making a series of special coins to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Beatrix Potter.

Beatrix Potter was a famous author who wrote children's stories about lots of different animals, like Peter Rabbit, Squirrel Nutkin and Mrs Tiggy-Winkle.
Four coins will be made featuring different characters from her stories, and a special collector's 50p coin showing a colour picture of Peter Rabbit will also be released.
The Royal Mint, who make all of the UK's money, say the new coins are meant to give a snapshot of Britain over the past 1,000 years.


In an unassuming laboratory at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, they are ripping a hole in the fabric of space and time.

Not too far away, they are working with information that can mean two things at once.
They are two separate studies, but what they have in common is the interaction of light and matter.
Together they've won 3m Euros (Â£2.3m) in research funding. The money has come from the EU's European Research Council as part of a programme to encourage creativity in research.
Dr Daniele Faccio is working on a laser which emits pulses 100 times a second. The power of each pulse is measured in trillions of watts. He prefers to think of it as 10,000 times the power of a nuclear power plant.
He is using it to create an analogue black hole.
"We're trying to generate exactly the same conditions that you would find around a gravitational black hole," he says.
"Black holes normally live at the centre of a galaxy, but what we're trying to do is reproduce these conditions in our lab so we can control and tune the conditions and try to make these black holes do something useful for us."
It's part of humankind's drive to understand the Universe, and one question in particular will occupy Dr Faccio in the coming years: how light behaves in materials which are themselves moving at the speed of light.
While Dr Faccio is looking at how massive dollops of matter behave, Dr Brian Gerardot is working at the other end of the scale, one electron and one photon at a time.
His half of the award will be spent trying to bring the ideas of quantum physics into our everyday lives.
The theory of quantum computing is already well developed, albeit head-swimmingly counterintuitive. The bits which make our digital world work can be only one of two values: zero or one.
A quantum bit can similarly be zero or one. But it can also be both at once.
The implications for areas such as cryptography, measurement and computing are huge - if the theory can be transferred to the production line.
That is where Dr Gerardot hopes his work will leading.
"The theorists have come up with lots of very interesting ways that would really revolutionise lots of fields," he says.
"What's missing though is a way to scale up from just one of these devices to having lots of these quantum bits on the same device that are all working together."
Meanwhile, back to that rip in space and time. Some of us might be troubled by the thought that someone is creating a black hole on the outskirts of Edinburgh.
Dr Faccio says we shouldn't worry: "What we are creating is the same space-time structure which characterises a black hole.
"But we're doing this with a light pulse, so we don't actually have the mass which is associated with black holes.
"Gravitational black holes are generated by a collapsing star. We don't actually have this collapsing star, so there's no danger of being sucked into the black holes we're generating here."
Both the Heriot-Watt projects are examples of how research at the frontiers of science is not merely a matter of methodical inquiry. It needs creativity too.


An employee at the Nevada brothel where ex-NBA star Lamar Odom was found unconscious told emergency services he had taken cocaine.

The former LA Lakers star is in hospital, where he is on life support.
Mr Odom, who married reality television star Khloe Kardashian in 2009, has long struggled with addiction.
An employee of Love Ranch told 911 dispatchers that Odom, 35, had been taking cocaine and libido enhancers, said a Nevada police officer.
Nye County Sheriff Sharon Wehrly said on Wednesday that a worker at the legal brothel reported Odom was found unresponsive with blood coming from his nose and mouth.
The 911 caller also said Odom had over several days been taking cocaine, and 10 tablets to enhance sexual performance.
Nevada authorities have taken a blood sample to establish if there was anything in his body.
After visiting him at a Las Vegas hospital, the Reverend Jesse Jackson said there were signs of responsiveness.
US media report that although Kardashian filed for divorce in 2013, it had yet to be processed and she was making decisions about his medical care.
Odom won the NBA championship with the Lakers in 2009 and 2010 and was named NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2011.
He last played in the NBA in 2013 with the Clippers.


If Germany's interior minister has his way, Muslim women will be banned from covering their faces in nurseries, schools and universities, in public offices and courts and while driving.

Thomas de Maiziere has stopped short of proposing a complete ban. It is widely accepted that to totally ban the burka would violate Germany's constitution, which fiercely upholds the right to religious freedom.
Nevertheless, the minister said he and his fellow conservatives completely opposed the burka or, for that matter, any other full face veil.
"It doesn't fit into our open society," said Mr de Maiziere.
"Showing your face is fundamental for communication, for the cohesion of our society."
Germany interior minister calls for burka curbs
How attacks are forcing Germany to examine civil freedoms
Why do some people find the burkini offensive?
In reality, it is uncommon to see women wearing the full face veil in Germany.
Friday's announcement was really all about politics.
Two issues will dominate next year's general election in Germany; how to integrate more than a million asylum seekers, and how to tackle the threat posed by Islamist terrorism.
Both issues are already the subject of sensitive public debate and Angela Merkel's conservatives are losing votes to the right wing anti-Islam party Alternative fuer Deutschland.
The party is expected to take seats in parliament for the first time next year and it's polling at 19% of the vote in Mecklenburg Vorpommen and 14% in Berlin.
Both regions will hold state elections in September. It was no accident that the interior ministers of both states accompanied Mr de Maiziere as he made his announcement on Friday.
This is an unashamed attempt to lure back voters.
What's the difference between a hijab, a niqab and a burka?
The Islamic veil across Europe
The proposal is not yet draft legislation. If it gets that far, it is likely to encounter significant resistance in the German parliament.
But Germany feels ill at ease.
It is a country unsettled by the arrival of hundred of thousands of refugees and on edge after a recent spate of violent attacks - two of which were perpetrated by asylum seekers who are thought to have been inspired by IS.
Friday's announcement is a powerful indication of just how deeply this country is changing.


Celtic striker Moussa Dembele has been shortlisted for player and young player of the year in the PFA Scotland awards.

The 20-year-old Frenchman is joined in the senior list by team-mates Stuart Armstrong and Scott Sinclair, plus Aberdeen wide man Jonny Hayes.
His opponents for the young player award are team-mates Patrick Roberts and Kieran Tierney, the holder, along with Hibernian striker Jason Cummings.
The winners will be announced on Sunday 7 May at the PFA's annual dinner.
Celtic players have won the last three top-flight player of the year awards and have only failed to win it twice in the past 13 seasons.
Motherwell striker Michael Higdon topped the list in 2013, Rangers midfielder Steven Davis took the award in 2010, while Rangers defender Fernando Ricksen shared it with Celtic's John Hartson in 2005.
Players make the shortlist after voting among players in the Scottish Professional Football League.
Striker Leigh Griffiths was their top choice last season, with midfielder Stefan Johansen the year before and Kris Commons in 2014.
If Hayes were to win, he would become the first Dons player to take the award since Scotland midfielder Jim Bett in 1990.

The shortlists for the Championship, League One and League Two player of the year awards were announced last week.
Cummings, whose goals have helped Hibs win promotion, was shortlisted for Championship player of the year as well as the overall young player award.
Left-back Tierney could become the first to win the young player award twice since Aberdeen midfielder Eoin Jess in 1993 - and the first to win it two years running since Hearts defender Craig Levein in 1986.
Stuart Armstrong, 25, midfielder (Celtic): the former Dundee United midfielder has blossomed in his second full season at Celtic Park and has contributed 14 goals in his 44 appearances, earning himself his first Scotland cap.
Moussa Dembele, 20, striker (Celtic): the France Under-21 international has proved a bargain signing for around £500,000 from Fulham last summer and scored 32 goals in 49 appearances before his season was cut short this month because of a hamstring injury.
Jonny Hayes, 29, winger (Aberdeen): in his fifth season at Pittodrie, the versatile wide man has played at full-back and on the wing, scoring eight times in 40 appearances and re-established himself in the Republic of Ireland squad in helping the Dons into second place in the Premiership and make two cup finals.
Scott Sinclair, 28, winger (Celtic): his career having stalled at Aston Villa, the former Swansea City and Manchester City winger has been a revelation under Brendan Rodgers and scored 25 goals in 45 games for the league and League Cup winners.
Jason Cummings, 21, striker (Hibernian): the product of Hibs' youth system and Scotland Under-21 international has found the net 23 times in 38 appearances as the Edinburgh side won the Championship title and promotion, as well as reaching the Scottish Cup semi-finals.
Moussa Dembele, 20, striker (Celtic): the Frenchman won his early-season joust with Leigh Griffiths to become first-choice striker under Brendan Rodgers and it led to speculation about a multi-million pound January move to Chelsea.
Patrick Roberts, 20, winger (Celtic): continuing his 18-month loan from Manchester City, the England Under-20 international has had to share a place in the starting line-up with Scotland winger James Forrest but has looked a constant threat, scoring seven goals in 42 games.
Kieran Tierney, 19, left-back (Celtic): despite having an injury disrupted season, the flying wide man has had another fine season that has led to reports of interest from top English clubs and should lead to a fourth Scotland cap against England in June.


Inverness CT will open their Scottish Championship campaign at home to Dundee United when the 2017-18 gets under way on 5 August.

The Highlanders, relegated from the top flight last season, have appointed John Robertson as Richie Foran's successor.
Elsewhere, Dumbarton host Morton, St Mirren face Falkirk, Queen of the South take on Brechin City.
Newly-promoted Livingston welcome Dunfermline Athletic for their first game of the season.


The traffic lights at Inverness's Longman Roundabout are to change quicker in an effort to ease congestion at the busy site on the A9.

The lights at the roundabout close to the Kessock Bridge have been the cause of frustration for motorists.
Transport Scotland four options to ease travel have been considered, including removing the lights.
However, it said speeding up the timing of the signals "was shown to deliver the best results".
Following consultation with Highland Council, the new timings will be trialled between mid-August and mid-September.
Transport Scotland's operating company manager, Jonny Moran, said: "We are very aware of the concerns of those who use the Longman Roundabout and we want to address these to improve conditions for road users.
"Our analysis has shown that changing the timings of the signals will have a positive effect on traffic flows and we will trial the new approach at the end of the summer.
"Many people in the area have told us that they want the lights to be switched off permanently and we did consider this option.
"However, the assessment showed that the timing changes that we intend to trial delivered better results for all road users, especially at peak times."
Mr Moran said the trial would be monitored and then evaluated before a decision was made on the future operation of the lights.
He added: "We very much appreciate the patience of those who use the roundabout during this process.
"It does take time to collect the information required to make any changes as we have a responsibility to maintain road safety and an evidence based approach is the most effective way of doing that."
A flyover to take traffic crossing the Kessock Bridge up and over the roundabout has been proposed as part of the Inverness City Region Deal, which was announced in March.


Oliver Hawkins scored twice as Dagenham boosted their promotion hopes with a 4-0 thrashing of National League strugglers North Ferriby.

Forward Fejiri Okenabirhie produced a neat finish to put the visitors ahead with 15 minutes played at Grange Lane, before top-scorer Hawkins blasted in off the crossbar to double the advantage two minutes later.
Luke Guttridge put the result beyond doubt when he found the top corner of Rory Watson's net just before the interval.
The home side pressed for a way back into the game but striker Hawkins scored against the run of play in the 64th minute to further extend the lead with his 16th goal of the season.

Given his record of recent years, and his surprising last minute split from Yamaha, all eyes will be on Michael Dunlop at the 2015 Isle of Man TT.

The 26-year-old quit the Milwaukee Yamaha team two days before racing starts and now rides the Buildbase BMW Superbike he rode to victory last year.
Dunlop secured four wins at both of the last two TT meetings and is sure to figure strongly in every class.
He is set to begin his campaign in Saturday's six-lap Superbike race.
Dunlop had been suffering mechanical issues with the new Yamaha R1 machine at the North West 200 and TT practice.
He will now ride his own superstock spec BMW in the Superstock race and a 600cc Honda in the Supersport events, as well as wearing the Buildbase BMW livery in the Superbikes.
Among those expected to challenge Dunlop's superiority are his brother William and Tyco BMW team-mate Guy Martin, both chasing their first TT successes on the Mountain Course.
The pair have expressed satisfaction with the Northern Ireland team's switch to the German manufacturer, with the elder of the Dunlop brothers hailing his machinery for this season as "the best I have ever had".
William should be a leading contender in his favoured Supersport class aboard a 600cc Yamaha, with the much-in-demand Martin switching to a 675cc Smith's Triumph for the two smaller capacity outings.
New Zealander Bruce Anstey is likely to feature at the top end of the leaderboard on his fleet of Padgett's-prepared Hondas, a year after setting a new absolute lap record at 132.298mph, a speed which he believes could have been better but for losing a few crucial seconds.
John McGuinness and Manxman Conor Cummins fly the flag for the official Honda outfit in the two 'big bike' events, with the Morecambe man, a 21-time winner, keen to make up for lost time after a broken scaphoid hindered his efforts 12 months ago.
Meanwhile Yorkshire's Ian Hutchinson, the only man to achieve five victories in one week back in 2010, displayed a welcome return to form after years of serious injury with a couple of podium finishes at last month's North West 200.
The Bingley man spearheads the Paul Bird Motorsport Kawasaki challenge in the Superbike and Superstock events, but is another who moves to a Yamaha for the two Supersport races.
Two-time winner Gary Johnson crashed out while pushing for the lead in the Superstocks last year, but will have high hopes of adding to his tally of victories on board his GBMoto Kawasakis and Mar-Train Racing 600cc Yamaha.
James Hiller retains his ride under the Quattro Plant Kawasaki awning, while Michael Rutter continues his partnership with Bathams BMW for the blue riband class.
Among those seeking a first podium place are Cookstown Burrows Engineering recruit Jamie Hamilton and Lee Johnston, who campaigns BMW and Triumph bikes with backing from his 'day job' employers East Coast Construction.
Last year's Lightweight victor Dean Harrison represents the official Yamaha UK entry in the blue and white Mar-Train colours, while Dan Kneen breaks new ground as Anstey's team-mate in the Padgett's outfit.
Australian Cameron Donald also rides in the Padgett's livery in the 600cc jousts, but is Norton-mounted for the Superbike and Senior races.
Peter Hickman became the fastest-ever newcomer by lapping at an average speed of over 129mph last year and is fit to return to the saddle after being forced to sit out the North West 200 through injury.
His fellow Lincolnshire man Ivan Lintin will have high hopes after sealing a deal to ride for the RC Express Kawasaki outfit, while Keith Amor and Ryan Farquhar are back in the 1000cc classes following their partial return to the track last year, after initially retiring in 2012.
Farquhar also takes in the Supertwins category and is expected to be one of the main challengers for the top step of the rostrum.


At least 600 people are still missing following a mudslide and flooding that devastated parts of Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown.

Dozens of volunteers like Jibrila Sesay are playing a central role in the gruesome clear-up operation after Monday morning's disaster.
"We have been collecting corpses and pieces of corpses and bringing them to the mortuary. It does not stop," says Mr Sesay in a break outside the Connaught Hospital mortuary.
The volunteers are shuttled at high speed in police trucks and Red Cross vehicles to and from the devastated Regent area. The operation aims to prevent a health emergency - caused by rotting human remains on the hillside - from compounding the impact of the deadly landslide and floods.
Inside the rundown city centre mortuary, chief pathologist Simeon Owis Koroma is writing his 350th death certificate since Monday.
"There will be more bodies, in smaller numbers in the coming weeks. That's how it is with disasters in Sierra Leone. But we cope. We are lucky because we are prepared," he says, paying tribute to the volunteers like Mr Sesay who were trained in safe burials during the 2014 Ebola epidemic.
Death certificates are completed once a body has been identified. At that point family members can choose to remove the body for a private funeral or, in most cases, given that survivors have lost everything, leave the burial to the government.
Across the road from the mortuary, bereaved relatives stand lined up along the pavement under umbrellas. Many clutch photographs of loved-ones - curled or faded but priceless now.
Sorrie Koroma's daughter was 12. She remains on his phone screen. "I need to see my daughter's body just so my life can continue," he says. He believes his sister died along with her five children and his daughter, who was staying with them for the school holidays.
Everyone here has lost several family members. They were asleep in their beds when the watery mud coursing down Sugar Loaf Mountain dislodged giant rocks. These in turn seem to have gathered incredible velocity and crashed through people's homes. Shacks were flattened, concrete houses suffered the same fate.
During Wednesday, thanks to the tireless efforts of volunteers such as Mr Sesay, the mortuary became overfull. The stench of decomposing bodies pervaded Lightfoot Boston Street.
A decision was taken to bag up body parts and all corpses damaged beyond possible identification. In a new volley of ambulance runs, Mr Sesay and his colleagues began transporting decomposing human remains to a mass grave designated for them at the Ebola cemetery at Waterloo.
By now Mr Sesay seemed inured to his gruesome calling. He was just hungry.
"We have not been given a meal or a drink or even money for transport. At least during Ebola, international organisations took care of the volunteers," he says.


England need the flair of their younger batsmen to win an Ashes series, says ex-skipper Mike Brearley.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The 73-year-old, who guided England to three Test series wins against Australia, believes their "exciting" crop of young players are the key.
Brearley, captain in 31 Tests from 1977-81, said Alastair Cook is "decent, straightforward and honest", but added: "I'm not sure how much flair he has.
"Can you win the Ashes without that flair? No."
He added: "One of the exciting things is the flair in the young players from number five to number eight - Joe Root is a terrific player, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali."
By winning in 1977 and 1978-79, Brearley was the last skipper to lead England to home and away Ashes success until Andrew Strauss, more than 30 years later.
His most famous win came when he returned to the captaincy part way through the 1981 series, leading his country to a 3-1 victory over Australia.
As the 2015 series approaches, Brearley has been talking to Michael Vaughan - an Ashes-winning captain in 2005 - about the challenges facing Cook's side, and the demands of leading your country.
After losing 5-0 down under in 2013-14, England are seeking to regain the Ashes this summer, but Brearley feels they may struggle.
He said: "Australia are a very tough team. On paper, they're a better team than us. They've certainly got better bowling than we have.
"But we're playing at our home grounds, which makes a difference. If we can get that spirit going, and people play to their best, then we've got a chance."
England's Test captain Cook was replaced as one-day skipper by Eoin Morgan last December, and left out of their World Cup squad earlier this year.
"There's an advantage for Alastair Cook in not having played in the World Cup and the recent one-day matches," Brearley said.
"He's been able get away, reorganise, remind himself of his technique and come back fresh.
"But it will be difficult for him if things don't go well to start with - and if he doesn't feel he's got the same spirit that the team have had in the one-day matches recently, and if he doesn't quite feel in charge."
Brearley sees Cook as one of England's quieter captains - but does not view that as a problem.
He said: "Alastair Cook is not a big extrovert. He's not somebody who is going to change things in dramatic ways.
"Tony Greig [Brearley's predecessor as England captain from 1975-77] was a bit like that. He was a 6ft 5in blond-haired South African, who made big gestures, who reacted to the crowd, who said things to the opposition, who stirred up Dennis Lillee.
"I don't think you have to be like that. One of the important things as captain is that you have to be yourself.
"I think Alastair Cook is a leader who is conscientious, he works at it, he's fair-minded to the players."
He currently averages 54.11 after 27 Tests and Root's performances at number five have impressed Brearley to the point that he feels the 24-year-old Yorkshireman could lead his country in future - if he is not pushed too soon.
"I think he'd manage it, but I think he might be helped if it doesn't come too soon," Brearley said. "Let him get a few more thousand runs in a very few years for England at number five or possibly number four.
"If you were going to do it, it would have to be on the basis that, if it failed, don't keep him on too long - get him back to being what he's best at.
"But he's lively. I think he'd do a good job."
Asked by Vaughan to define his perfect captain, Brearley said: "There isn't one. There are all sorts of styles. The perfect captain does it his own way, but is open to ideas as to how to change, always.
"You've got to be able to get on with the team. That doesn't mean being matey with them all the time, because you've got to say tough things to people, that they don't want to hear.
"So you want someone who is pretty strong in themselves, and has a sense of humour, can see things that they do wrong, and is passionately involved."
Brearley captained both Middlesex and England, but had interests outside cricket too, working as a philosophy lecturer at Newcastle University in the late 1960s and forging a post-playing career as a psychoanalyst.
"Captaincy is about about talking to people, listening to people," he said.
"People used to say I was cerebral, and maybe I was to a fault. But I was also quite passionate. I minded.
"Sometimes that showed in good ways. Sometimes it showed in not so good ways. But people knew that I cared."
Data analysis is now common across the sporting world, but Brearley's self-confessed academic approach to the sport drove him to look for advantages in facts and figures as far back as his first days as Middlesex captain in the early 1970s.
He said: "The tactical side originally came from my father. I was extremely interested in tactics, sometimes to a fault. It became a bit academic.
"For example, in my first year of captaining Middlesex, I'd look through Wisden to see who batsmen had got out to against us in the previous year's match. I think that was completely stupid.
"I was using data to that extent, but perhaps misguidedly. It can go right or wrong, can't it?"
Brearley, who captained England in 31 of his 39 Test matches, was renowned for his man-management skills, with Sir Ian Botham declaring him "the best captain I ever played under".
"I wanted a team with 11 people who were potentially captains, who were thinking like captains about the whole game, and about other people's games as well as their own," Brearley said.
"That makes life a bit more difficult. You get arguments, you get debates, people have opinions. Sometimes you get fed up with them, and you don't want to hear another opinion, especially if it's different from yours. But to get a team together, I think that's vital, actually."
Opening batsman Geoffrey Boycott - who captained England in four Tests in 1978 when Brearley was injured - developed a reputation for high self-confidence that masked insecurity, according to Brearley.
He said: "Someone such as Geoffrey Boycott - a very fine, great player - needed encouragement and reassurance. More than you might imagine, especially if he wasn't doing so well.
"He'd want to know, for example, that the ball that had just got him out would have got WG Grace, Donald Bradman and all the rest of them out too - that he hadn't done anything wrong.
"But he also wanted to be reminded that he had to go his own way, and be positive in defence as well as occasionally in attack."
While all-rounder Botham is regularly cited as the key figure in England's 1981 Ashes series victory over Australia, fast bowler Bob Willis played a major part - particularly as the third Test was won at Headingley, taking 8-43 as Australia were bowled out for 111 in their second innings.
Yet he almost did not make the side, having struggled for form in the lead-up to the match.
Brearley said: "He wasn't very fit. He had a chest infection. He had a bit of trouble with bits of his body. He was getting on a little bit, in terms of age, as a fast bowler, and he started to bowl no-balls.
"We nearly left him out of that Headingley Test when he took 8-43. Amazing, isn't it?
"He hadn't played in a match the week before for Warwickshire. We didn't select him for the team. Luckily, he found out and said: 'What do you mean, I'm not fit? I'm perfectly fit. I was just having a match off to be fit for the next match.' It was as close as that."
"Captaincy is people skills," Brearley said. "It's about finding out what makes people tick, what motivates them.
"People such as Ian Botham were good when you geed them up. I'd get someone such as Peter Willey at mid-on or mid-off, and I'd say: 'Stir him up.'
"Peter would sneer at Botham and snarl at him. He'd say: 'You're bowling like an old woman.' Botham would come in and bowl with a bit more energy, which was good.
"But if you did that with Bob Willis, he might be more unconfident. I realised that after a while."
Botham, who played 102 Tests from 1977-92, was involved in a number of controversies during his playing career, but Brearley said he had few problems with the all-rounder.
"Ian Botham, when I had him at the beginning of his Test career, was pretty easy to manage," Brearley said.
"He was so talented. He was so extroverted and confident. He had his anxieties, but he was confident once he got on to the field.
"He was so attacking in terms of his mentality - and that was almost always right for him. Just occasionally, you needed to quieten him down."
Kevin Pietersen was effectively sacked by England shortly after their 5-0 Ashes defeat in Australia in 2013-14, amid suggestions of dressing room disharmony.
Brearley wondered if the situation could have been handled better by his fellow senior players, saying: "One thing I've wondered about the England team is this: Might they, as a team, have done more to confront Kevin? To enlist him but also confront him - and not let him get away with any nonsense.
"I'm not saying that Geoffrey Boycott was that difficult a player to handle, but the rest of the team knew him very well by the time I played with him in Test matches, and weren't going to let him get to that awkward hectoring state of mind that he can get in to."

Partick Thistle captain Abdul Osman says the players are praying manager Alan Archibald stays at the club for another season.

Archibald was on Swindon Town's managerial shortlist last season and has been linked with other vacancies.
Osman says the loss of Archibald - who guided Thistle to a top six finish last season - would be a hard act to follow.
"Since I signed, he's only got better, every season. It's no surprise teams are interested in him," Osman said.
"We don't want him to go anywhere. He's probably one of the best managers I have played under.
The boys love him. We just pray he stays here for another season."
Osman's Partick Thistle team-mate Adam Barton echoes his captain's sentiments.
"I would be personally disappointed because what he has done is really good," the midfielder said.
"As a footballer, you like managers who really stick by their players. You come across so many managers who chop and change things and I have been through that many managers that many times.
"New managers come in and they don't even want to see you play, they just want to bring their own players in and chop and change. To see him go would not be a good thing."
Partick Thistle are on the verge of losing promising centre-back Liam Lindsay, who has travelled to Barnsley for a medical following the clubs agreeing a fee for the player.
Subject to the completion of the medical, Lindsay will sign a three-year deal at Oakwell.


The world has changed dramatically since August 2013 when the British government last tried to win parliamentary approval to conduct bombing operations in Syria.

Then it was a question of striking at President Assad's forces as punishment for his use of chemical weapons. In the event the government lost the vote and no bombing occurred.
Since then the Islamic State organisation has emerged, controlling what it describes as a caliphate, encompassing territory in both Iraq and Syria.
IS has also demonstrated its ability to carry out or inspire attacks against tourists in Tunisia, against a Russian airliner over Egypt, and against a variety of targets on the streets of Paris.
A broad coalition (including the UK) is carrying out air strikes against IS in Iraq and a smaller number of countries are hitting targets in Syria too. (RAF aircraft are conducting intelligence-gathering missions over Syria, but generally not releasing any weapons.)
Mr Cameron went to the House of Commons on Thursday to set out the government's case for extending air strikes into Syria.
He clearly believes that this is the right thing to do, that Britain's participation wasn't just essential alongside its key allies, but that it would also make a difference to the campaign. And furthermore, he believes that a reinforced military effort would bolster diplomatic efforts to end the Syrian crisis and increase the chances of a comprehensive settlement.
So, can British forces make a difference?
The PM argues that the particular capabilities of the RAF - the Raptor reconnaissance pods on its Tornado aircraft and their ability to deliver small but highly accurate Brimstone missiles - provide something that others don't have.
That, he says, is one of the reasons why Washington and Paris want the UK engaged. The RAF's equipment is well-suited to so-called dynamic targeting - i.e. where an aircraft overflies a selected area, locating targets for itself and then engaging them.
This particular "niche" capability is one that even the Americans don't have and combined with the Raptor pod, which is responsible for some 60% of the tactical intelligence gained over Iraq, it is a useful additional tool to have in the airpower toolkit.
However, there are only eight RAF Tornados currently based in Cyprus.
While there is talk that if strike operations are extended to Syria, a small number of additional jets may be deployed, Britain's air contribution remains relatively small, though nonetheless significant.
With the arrival of the French carrier in the eastern Mediterranean, for example, France has more than three times the number of aircraft the UK has.
Mr Cameron also explicitly ruled out the deployment of British combat troops on the ground. Indeed he insisted that there were local ground "troops" - be it Kurdish or Sunni fighters - who were capable of retaking and holding territory from IS.
Let's look at some of the key elements of the prime minister's case.
IS represents a real and direct threat to the UK. This is about Britain's national security and the safety of British citizens. They had already been attacked abroad in Tunisia. IS, the PM said, had repeatedly tried to carry out attacks in the UK;  several plots in the UK linked or inspired by IS have been disrupted.
Bombing in Syria would not change the threat equation in the UK. Britain, he insisted, was already under the highest level of possible threat from IS. The intelligence chiefs believe that Britain is in the top tier of potential IS targets.
This is all part of a comprehensive strategy. Mr Cameron was at pains to stress not only the need for military action but also its limits. It had an important part to play within a wider comprehensive approach that included diplomacy, humanitarian aid and, in the longer term, efforts to help the governments of Iraq and (one day) Syria to build up good governance.
Mr Cameron made his arguments well and the government has released a lengthy written response to the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, whose earlier report raised many questions about the whole trajectory of the struggle against IS. It would be fair to say that many of those questions were heard again in the Commons today.
What would Britain's additional contribution to the effort in Syria really amount to? Were the available ground forces, especially in Syria, really capable of doing the job against IS?
Above all, is this much-vaunted comprehensive approach really worth its name? Syria is such a complex problem. How does the war against IS fit in with the struggle to remove President Assad and create a new inclusive government in Syria?  Can one battle be disentangled from the other?
Mr Cameron acknowledges this complexity. But his case is that something needs to be done now and that British inaction also has consequences.
In the wake of the Paris attacks in particular, there is a sense that the mood in the Commons is changing. But has it changed enough to give Mr Cameron the clear backing that he needs?


A 1.1% average increase in the cost of train tickets in England, Wales and Scotland has come into effect.

The rise in regulated fares, including season tickets, is capped at no more than July's RPI inflation rate of 1%.
However, unregulated fares, such as off-peak leisure tickets, can go up by as much as train companies like.
It is the smallest rise in six years, but campaigners said some passengers would be "amazed" by any rise because of the "dire" quality of some services.
Punctuality figures published by Network Rail show more than one in 10 trains (10.7%) arrived at their final destination at least five minutes late in the past 12 months.
Anthony Smith, from independent watchdog Transport Focus, said passengers were "paying their part" and it was now time for the rail industry to deliver on the basics.
Bruce Williamson, of campaign group Railfuture, claimed fares were "increasingly divorced from reality".
"High street prices have remained stagnant for more than a year, with the official CPI inflation figure hovering around zero, yet the government thinks it's fair to make rail travel even more expensive," he said.
Under government rules, the rise in regulated fares was restricted to no more than the Retail Prices Index measure of inflation over the year to July, which was 1%.
Over the long term, RPI has tended to record higher inflation than the other measure of rising prices, the Consumer Price Index, which was 0.1% during the year.
The increases, which were announced in December, cover fares in England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland is treated separately.
Commuters with annual season tickets can find out how much their fare has gone up by on the National Rail Enquiries website.
A 12-month pass from Basingstoke to London will cost £4,196 in 2016, up by £40 from £4,156.
Workers travelling from Gloucester to Birmingham will have to pay out £36 more than the 2015 price of £3,860 for a ticket.
Passengers making daily journeys between Liverpool and Manchester will see their season tickets rise by £28, up from £2,960 to £2,988.
Paul Plummer, of the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) which represents train operators and Network Rail, said on average 97p in every pound from fares was spent on trains, staff and other running costs.
"We know that nobody likes to pay more to travel by train, especially to get to work, and at 1.1% this is the smallest average increase in fares for six years."
Labour said commuters would be paying on average 25% more for rail season tickets since David Cameron took office.
Some were paying a "truly staggering" rise of almost £2,000 in cash terms since 2010, shadow transport secretary Lilian Greenwood said.
The analysis compared costs on over 200 routes between when the Conservatives came to power and the new prices for 2016.
The highest increase found was on a Virgin Trains season ticket between Birmingham and London Euston which  has risen by £1,984 and now costs more than £10,000 for the first time.
Action for Rail - a campaign by rail unions and the TUC - said privatisation of the railways was to blame.
It claimed £1.5bn could be saved over five years if routes with franchises up for renewal were returned to the public sector.


Waves of up to 30ft (10m) high have been hitting Devon and Cornwall, prompting fears that inexperienced surfers could put themselves in danger.

It is the result of an Atlantic depression combining with winds gusting up to 70mph (110k/hr).
Waves at Portreath in Cornwall washed away a 100-year-old stone hut on the breakwater on Monday.
A search for 18-year-old Harry Martin from Newton Ferrers, who has been missing since Thursday, has continued.
Police, the Dartmoor Rescue Group, coastguards and members of the public have taken part in the search since the teenager disappeared.
Mr Martin, who was taking photographs of stormy seas, was last seen by his father leaving his home and walking towards a coastal path on Thursday lunchtime.
Dave Owens, the assistant head of service for the environment at Cornwall Council, said: "At the moment with the damage we know that has happened to date we're up to about Â£1.5m. That is only going to go higher.
"That doesn't include anything on the coast path yet. We will probably get collapses as a consequence of this weather, for probably around 12 months."
The harbourmaster at Newquay said so much sand had been lost from the harbour it had exposed a boat wreck never seen before.
Graham Alecock-Smith said: "We've got some guys who have been in town for 60 years but nobody recalls seeing it before.
"I had a chat with Newquay Old Cornwall Society. They have no knowledge of it either, but think it may be an old crabbing boat."
The boat will be removed on Tuesday for health and safety reasons, Mr Alecock-Smith confirmed.
Waves of up to 27ft (8m) have been recorded off Land's End, Cornwall.
A police officer has spoken about how he rescued a man from heavy surf in Cornwall.
Sgt Reg Butler of Devon and Cornwall Police pulled the man to safety at 03:00 GMT on Saturday morning in treacherous conditions.
Officers secured a line to Sgt Butler, who waded out to pull the man to shore at Towan beach in Newquay.
Sgt Butler said "another 30 seconds" and the man could have been washed out to sea.
On the Isles of Scilly the quay on St Mary's has been closed because of large waves.
Harbourmaster Dale Clarke said: "It's just astonishing to see the power of the sea and how high it's actually getting here."
On Sunday, the county's fire and rescue service said it had attended "several flooding incidents" including in Perranporth where crews cleared 2ft (0.5m) of water from Tywarnhayle Square.
In Seaton the sea has damaged part of the beach cafe and part of a seawall has collapsed following high tides and large waves.
Some public transport has been affected. First Great Western has warned passengers there is a risk to services in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset.
The Met Office has issued yellow "be prepared" warnings for south-west England and said there was a risk of coastal flooding and large waves.
Surfing website Magic Seaweed said it could be a "step into the unknown" as people prepared to surf the Atlantic "code red" storm at its peak intensity.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency and Devon and Cornwall Police said while they could not stop people going into the water, they urged them not to put themselves or others in danger.
"They really need to think carefully about the conditions and about their own abilities," an agency spokesman from Falmouth Coastguard said.
"If they're in any doubt at all, then I'd say, 'please don't do it'."
Last October, Devon surfer Andrew Cotton, from Braunton, hit the headlines when he surfed a 100ft (30m) wave off Nazare beach in Portugal.
Mr Cotton said he intended to ride the surf off Ireland, but will do so only if he believed it was safe.
"My advice would be not to go out alone and to be realistic about your ability," he told BBC News.
"Know your limits. The sea is so powerful and demands the utmost respect."
"Knowing when to call it quits can make the difference between surfing again tomorrow or never surfing again," he added.
Laurence Couch a surfing instructor in Cornwall with 40 years experience, said he hoped to surf off St Ives Bay, but would wait to see what conditions were like.
"These are rogue waves - real monsters - so I'm looking forward to it, but I'll be looking for a more sheltered area to surf.
"If you're not really experienced, my advice is simple - stay out the water," the 51-year-old from Hayle said.


Parents of young adults who return to the family home after university are often "puzzled" about how to manage the relationship, suggests a small study.

Living together again "is often not a strongly positive experience" for parent or child, say London School of Economics (LSE) researchers.
But with up to half of new graduates living at home it may "become a new social norm", they add.
The researchers carried out in-depth interviews in 27 households.
Some 3.3 million UK adults aged between 20 and 34 were living in the parental home in 2013, according to official statistics.
This amounted to a quarter of that age group - but among graduates aged 22 to 24, the proportion rose to about half, according to the researchers.
Returning home was usually prompted more by need than desire, they found, with new graduates facing a relatively weak jobs market and high property prices.
"No returner wanted to live with their parents indefinitely, although some... were in no hurry to live independently," their study said.
And many parents were "anxious as to how long it might continue".
"Some parents experience a lot of tension between supporting their children and successfully 'launching' them as independent adults," said lead author Prof Jane Lewis.
The study found the graduates were largely more positive than their parents, but both groups expressed mainly negative feelings.
Some parents complained the young adults did not contribute sufficiently to household chores and finances, while some young adults were unhappy at the loss of the independence they had gained at university.
However, some families reported positive aspects, such as improved relationships between the generations.
"Securing a career job was crucial to more positive feelings about co-residence," the researchers found.
Not having a job or a job-hunting plan was like returning to the family home without a "roadmap", according to one mother interviewed.
Another described her son as being in "the waiting room" but not knowing when the train might come.
The sheer numbers of new graduates now living with their parents may provide some comfort to both generations, the researchers concluded.
"Many parents in the sample tried to take comfort from knowing that they were not the only people experiencing the problems that accompanied the return of a young adult child, while many young adults took comfort from knowing that many of their university friends had also returned home," the study said.
With the competitive job market and high living costs "both parents and graduates felt that returning to the family home was inevitable", said Prof Lewis.
"So there is a very real chance that it will become increasingly acceptable."


Prince Harry has revealed he sought counselling after coming close to a "complete breakdown" while struggling to deal with the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.

His revelation has led others to share their experiences of how they coped with losing a parent at a young age.
Here they tell their stories.
Kathryn Watson, 33, from Newcastle, lost her mum, Heather, to lymphoma cancer when she was 19.
"My mum was ill for about 18 months and it was really quite sudden. She went from being an outgoing person to simply not being there.
"I dealt with her death badly. I went straight into doing the logistical stuff and, because of my age, there was a lot of pressure from people for it not to affect my life.
"I found I lost quite a few friends because they didn't know how to cope with me. I was so busy trying to be 'normal', you don't know how to talk to people.
"When I read Prince Harry's story I thought that's exactly how I felt. You just keep going and everybody else forgets about it.
"Over the years I completely ignored my mum's death. Life gets back to normal and no-one talks about it.
"What really spoke to me was Prince Harry talking about his anger. I felt that a lot. I turned to the gym and exercise and running.
"What also really touched me was that the age at which we dealt with it was the same.
"When I got to 28 and 29 I thought 'I can't keep going on with this'. It's the realisation it's not going to fade.
"Now, I'm able to open up and work through my grief. I think it is a maturity thing.
"Counselling has brought me to a good place. It's about finding the right counsellor for you - it's so important.
"I feel relieved and a lot calmer. I still have bad days but I now know if I'm going into one it will pass and I know who to contact and who to talk to.
"It doesn't seem so overwhelming or daunting now."
Andy Savage, 37, from Nantwich, Cheshire, was 12 when his mum, Diane, died from a blood clot in her lung.
"It was completely out of the blue.  I was 12 at the time, my younger brother was nine and my sister was six. They were taken into care, our family was split up.
"We had been the typical little family back then. My dad couldn't cope afterwards, his grief was as big as ours.
"You lose several things when you lose your mum. You lose someone very close to you but you also lose the person who takes care of you. There's a mixture of emotions.
"I can't think of anything that decimates someone's life more as a kid than taking their mum away from them.
"There was a lot of anger for me personally. It messes up your life in a lot of different ways. I dropped out of school, didn't really get an education and didn't look after myself too well.
"It's only looking back now, that I realise it was linked to my mum's death. I know I'm not the person I would've been if she had stayed alive.
"Like Prince Harry, I had that chaotic period. I went off the rails in my late teens because I didn't have any guidance, I did what I wanted to do. I burnt myself out quite quickly.
"I think it's vital you find something in life that's your passion, whether it's sport or a hobby - something to give your life meaning.
"I was lucky that social services were there and they provided counselling sessions. For me it was massively beneficial, but not everyone's a talker.
"As Harry said, venting at someone, letting it all out has got to be a good thing. It helps you make sense of what's happened."
Susan Steel, 55, from Hull, lost her dad, Gerry, who suffered from hypercholesterolemia, at the age of 12.
"My dad had been unwell for quite some time. On the day he died he'd come out of hospital and I remember coming out of school and seeing him in the passenger seat.
"For the first time I thought that's not my dad. He was shrivelling away.
"That evening my mum was in the kitchen and me and my sister were watching the 9 O'Clock news with my dad.
"We heard a clatter and the table turned over and we turned around and his eyes were rolling. I charged out screaming, I knew what had happened. I never saw him again.
"Now I can't really remember him. I think a lot of it you block out.
"I saw a child psychiatrist at the time because I wouldn't go to school. I had separation anxiety from my mum. I didn't understand it at the time.
"I couldn't concentrate at school and I didn't do very well in my A-levels. I couldn't eat either and lost loads of weight.
"It did affect everything but I didn't really realise at the time it might be related to losing my dad.
"I avoided relationships and when I met my husband I started to have panic attacks and that's when I started to see a counsellor. That's when I understood it.
"I had a mistrust of men, I feared my husband would leave me.
"I had a really good GP who recognised it was connected to my dad and sent me to a counsellor.
"You do bottle it up. You don't go there. Counselling is not an easy option, it's very painful.
"But I remember coming home and I would feel really free. It really did help, without a shadow of a doubt."

Liberia's authorities have quarantined the area where a 17-year-old boy died of Ebola.

This is the first reported case of Ebola in Liberia since it was declared free of the disease seven weeks ago.
Deputy health minister Tolbert Nyenswah said tests confirmed that the teenager from Nedowein village, near the international airport, had died of the disease on 28 June.
Officials are investigating how he contracted Ebola, Mr Nyenswah said.
More than 11,000 people have died of the disease since December 2013, the vast majority of them in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
The countries had largely curbed the spread of the disease - but the number of new cases has risen recently, with the start of the rainy season in West Africa.
The news that a 17-year-old has died of Ebola in Liberia is deeply troubling. The country was thought to be free of the deadly virus - no cases had been reported for the past seven weeks, until now.
Officials are urging people not to panic and instead "go about their business as normal". They say they have the situation in hand - the teenager's body was buried safely and surveillance has been stepped up.
But it is not clear how the young man caught the virus and who he may have been in contact with before he died. Liberians must remain vigilant if they are to banish Ebola for good.
Mr Nyenswah told the BBC's Jonathan Paye-Layleh in Monrovia that the authorities were dealing with the situation effectively and there was no need for the public to panic.
"We have said over and over again that there was a possibility that there could be a resurgence of the virus in Liberia," he said. "But our surveillance team, our capacity is  very strong.
"The only complication is that the person died before we tested the body as part of our surveillance system."
The number of people quarantined in Nedowein, about 30 miles (48km) from the capital, would be made available later, Mr Nyenswah said.
The authorities were investigating whether the dead man had contracted the disease as a result of travel, he said.
The man's body had been buried safely, in accordance with guidelines to check the spread of Ebola, he added.


The Red Arrows aerobatic display team has completed a 60-day world tour, which included its first ever public display in China.

As part of the "Best of British" tour, the team performed in parts of the Middle East, India and Pakistan.
It takes the number of countries it has performed in since its formation in 1965 in to 57.
The Lincolnshire-based team has released cockpit footage shot in China and Oman.
The Red Arrows said one of the highlights of the tour was the opportunity to display in China at the airshow in Zhuhai.
The tour also saw the team - who have now performed more than 4,500 displays -  perform in Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman.
