"Tragically dozens of those on foot, young and old alike, were not so lucky. Virtually everyone I saw on the promenade was either dead or beyond real help with truly terrible injuries."

A cricketer who unwittingly inspired author PG Wodehouse to name his unflappable valet Jeeves, has had a poplar tree planted in his memory.
Image source, Warwickshire County Cricket ClubPercy Jeeves, who was born in 1888 near Dewsbury, was playing in a cricket match in Cheltenham in August 1913 when PG Wodehouse "by chance" saw him play.
Liking the cricketer's bowling action, the young author would remember his name in 1916 and immortalise it.
The tree was planted today during the Cheltenham Cricket Festival, at the Cheltenham College Ground where Wodehouse saw Jeeves play.
