Firefighters form guard of honour after two colleagues and man die in blaze
Tributes have been paid to two firefighters and a business owner who died in a huge blaze in Oxfordshire.
Flowers have been placed near the entrance to Bicester Motion, a business park based at the town's former RAF base after the fire broke out on Thursday evening. On Saturday, firefighters from Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service (OFRS) were seen forming a guard of honour in memory of their two colleagues.
Among the cards and messages among the flowers was a child's drawing covered in fire engine stickers with the words: "Thank you hero fighters." Jennie Logan, 30 and Martyn Sadler, 38, who died both worked for OFRS. David Chester, 57, who ran the business Chesters & Sons on the site for 12 years, also died.
Two other firefighters suffered serious injuries and remain in hospital. Bicester Rugby Union Football Club (RUFC) paid tribute to Ms Logan and Mr Sadler who were both members.
The club's chairman Chris Dabell told Sky News: "There is immense loss and sadness in the club. We are just one family.
We are all massively impacted by this." The club also posted a message on X, describing their "profound sadness". Residents have been leaving personal messages underneath the Bicester Motion sign at the entrance to the site.
A golden plaque has been installed underneath with a tribute from the "Bicester community.
