A man whose wife died when their house exploded a year ago said he has flashbacks of her crying "get me out" while he was stuck under rubble.
Janet Jasper, 79, died in hospital after the blast, which happened when a cooker spark ignited leaking gas.
About 50 homes in Birstall, Leicestershire, were damaged in the explosion on 11 December 2017.

John Jasper, 81, who had lived with his wife in the house since the 1960s, said it had been the "worst year ever".
He said: "Everything we had lived for - 56 years there - had just gone up in one big bang.
"The bit that upset me is the fact that I could hear my wife crying 'get me out get me out' and I couldn't move. That is the main flashback so I try not to dwell on that."
