The widow of a man who died after fire engulfed his campervan today told how she cannot move on.

James Johnson, 24, accidentally dropped his cigarette as he fell asleep in the van last September.

Today, heartbroken widow Shelley, of Hilton Road, Canvey, told how the pain of his loss continues to devastate her and their two young children, Codi, three, and Leah, one.

She said: "I don't feel I can move on at all. I just wish he was still here. I can't do anything."

Shelley's grandad, Christopher Redman, 84, died of cancer just days after Christmas.
