Pharmacist Raj Modi was back behind his counter within minutes of the cordon being lifted.

During the evacuation he became a local hero, hand delivering medication to his most vulnerable patients, and organising others to collect their prescriptions at local drop-off points.

"I have been here 20 years and they are all like my second family," he said.

"I treat the elderly people just like my mum and dad. If you look after people, they will look after you."

After his first night at home in a week, personal trainer Ryan Adshead told BBC Radio Manchester: "I had the best night's sleep, I feel so relaxed."

"I don't think you can even put it into words how we feel, the guys what they did up there. We sent food and help up there. We can't thank them enough for how quickly they raced to save us and save our little village."

Normal life is beginning to resume in Whaley Bridge - it is a little bit quiet but the shops are starting to open.

The newsagents opened at about 05:00 and I popped my head round. There was a pile of newspapers from last Thursday still needing to go in the bin, and milk which was a week old, and needed to be disposed of.

Residents here have all been issued with an emergency leaflet and it tells them what they should do if there is another breach.

If they hear a hailer going "evacuate, evacuate" then they have to get out of the village so they're not quite out of the woods.

Camilla Dignan, of The Bridge Bakehouse, said they have been in early this morning to throw away all the cakes, bread and pies they had made fresh on Thursday before the shop was evacuated.

"It was so demoralising," she told BBC Breakfast.

"We had made everything from scratch but we just to had to come in and gut it [the shop]."

Last night she said it was emotional to be back.

"We need you now more than ever," says a baking business in Whaley Bridge.

Staff from The Cake Nest took to social media overnight to appeal for support after being unable to work for six days.

They tweeted, external: "We’ve spent the last week refunding orders and not taking new ones. We are only a small business and if I’m totally honest this could be the end of us."

Within a few minutes of the cordon and road blocks being lifted, life returned to the high street in this Derbyshire town.

Many people were in tears as they returned. At times over the last few days they feared everything they owned would be swept away in a torrent if the dam over Whaley Bridge burst.

The reservoir behind the dam is now nearly empty and will stay that way for months.

The Environment Agency says significant work is to be done to bring the dam to a condition where long-term safety can be assured.

And people say they feel reassured now the reservoir has been drained and are grateful for the huge operation to make it safe to live here again.
