Firefighter honoured with funeral procession

Bicester Fire Station said people's presence "will mean so much to us and Jennie's family and friends"

Firefighters have announced they will be paying tribute to their "colleague and friend" over the weekend.

In a Facebook post, Bicester Fire Station invited the community to show support to Jennie Logan, who was one of the three victims of the devastating blaze at Bicester Motion on 15 May.

Two other firefighters suffered serious injuries - one remains in hospital in a stable condition and the other has been discharged.

The post says the cortege will take place at 10:00 BST on Saturday and will travel from Banbury Road in the town to the fire station on Queen's Avenue, where a minute's silence will be held.

Firefighter Jennie Logan is one of the victims of the Bicester Motion fire, along with her colleague Martyn Sadler (L) and father-of-two Dave Chester (R)

Ms Logan, 30, was killed in the blaze that engulfed a hangar at Bicester Motion alongside her colleague Martyn Sadler, 38, and father-of-two Dave Chester, 57.

Thames Valley Police said police, fire and Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigation work at the scene had concluded and it had been handed back to the site operator.

The force said it was still being treated as an unexplained death investigation.

Paying tribute after the fire, the family of Ms Logan said her "bravery and fearlessness shone through right until the end".

The family of Mr Sadler, who previously worked for Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service (RBFRS) and was also part of London Fire Brigade, said being a firefighter was "always in his blood", adding that he was "the true definition of a hero".

Mr Chester's family described him as "Bicester born and bred" with a "quirky sense of humour".

Bicester Motion is home to more than 50 specialist businesses, focused on classic car restoration and engineering on the former site of RAF Bicester.

Bicester Fire Station said road closures would be in place from 09:30 BST to support the funeral procession.

The route will be lined with firefighters and emergency service partners.

The service added that people's presence "will mean so much to us and Jennie's family and friends".

"We thank you for your patience and understanding as we honour our colleague," the Facebook post added.
