Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: "Modaxo is a huge multinational conglomerate making billions in revenue and yet sees fit to penny-pinch and pay poverty wages to our members in Reading."These workers will have the full support of Unite in this battle for fair pay."

The BBC has contacted Modaxo for comment.During the strike, attendants working voluntary overtime with Oxfordshire County Council's parking enforcement contractor Trellint will be used in Reading.A spokesperson from Reading Borough Council said: "Parking regulations are in place for the safety and wellbeing of all road users and we would urge all motorists to continue to comply with them."

Two people who were affected by widespread flooding earlier this year have labelled the support they have received as "upsetting", and said it has left them feeling "vulnerable".Patrick Cane, from Marston, and Rachael Blakey, from Bucknell, were both heavily impacted by the flooding that took place across Oxfordshire

Their comments come as Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) announced six new measures to help with flood prevention.

But Mr Cane, whose property was also flooded in January, criticised the plans, saying they were "just words at the minute".A patchwork teddy bear, one of several special keepsakes created for Cher's loved ones, sat between them on the sofa, sewn together from fragments of her old clothes.

"We didn't want to keep all her stuff in bags," Ms Jacobs explained, pointing out one patch, from a dress Cher had worn when they went to watch Beyoncé together, and another from a T-shirt she remembered buying her when she was a teenager."Her smile went from ear to ear," said Ms Jacobs.

Ms Maximen described her granddaughter as "fearless and adventurous", remembering how, one morning eight years ago, she'd disappeared during a trip to Barbados and returned explaining she'd met some local fishermen and was proudly showing off her catch."I just keep thinking she is on holiday," she said. "The hole in my heart will never be filled."
