Widow Louise James has asked friends to rally around her once again this week as she prepares to mark a month since the drowning tragedy that claimed five of her family at Buncrana Pier.

The funerals for the five people who lost their lives when their car went off a pier will be held on Thursday afternoon.

A young mother who lost her husband and two children and her mother and sister in a pier-side tragedy has said her surviving baby is her reason to live.
