due to safety fears over a staff walkout.

Her late daughter's estate, which Ms Adoo-Kissi-Debrah acts as administrator for, sued the Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), the Department for Transport and the Department for Health and Social Care, for compensation over Ella's "illness and premature death".Ms Adoo-Kissi-Debrah said the settlement was going to take a while to sink in "because I’ve been fighting for so long", adding that the apology was "not going to bring Ella back".

"It's a David and Goliath situation. I was never going to win. You can’t win because your child is already dead."But it was about the recognition, the justice, and I wanted them to do something."She told BBC London "the moment I decided to push for an apology was when our KC at the inquest, who is now the attorney general, equated Ella’s injuries to torture".

Ms Adoo-Kissi-Debrah added that the case had "affected my health, all the stress", but said she was "glad I did it and it answers a lot of questions for us about our health"."It’s the acknowledgement of what happened to her. The fact that someone can become so ill so suddenly, and something horrific happen to them."

"I’m going to say it again and again. Ella isn’t the only one," she continued.

"The fact that in 2024 children continue to die from asthma is not acceptable."But there is one question the couple are always asked - how much does it all cost?

Gary says: "Every year we get folks saying 'I wouldn't want to have your electricity bill'."It's not about the cost for us, it's about what we can raise for charity."

Despite its success, this will be the final year the couple organise the light show."We've done four good years when it was only meant to be a Covid project," Gary says.
