Eyewitnesses and residents as well as staff at the Brockhole Visitor Centre, which is next to the scene, were left traumatised and in tears by Saturday's horrific double tragedy on their doorsteps. Police confirmed that the bodies of what are believed to be a man and a woman were found. It is understood the pair, who, it has been suggested, were at the wedding in an official capacity, had remained unaccounted for and were 'missing' when a headcount of guests was carried out once the fire broke out. The victims are also understood to be local to the Kendal area, although there has been no formal confirmation of their identities or their roles at Saturday's celebration. A shed containing fireworks had set on fire yesterday, police confirmed earlier today, and they added a vehicle near to the shed was also damaged by the blaze. One resident told the Gazette: "At quarter past three there was an almighty bang and then another pop and then another loud bang and the sound of fireworks going off which we thought was unusual because it was still daylight." • The blaze broke out in the grounds of the significant lake-facing detached property belonging to long-standing local businessman John Simpson Police were called at today (30th August).
