"I can't get the image out of my head. It all seemed to happen in slow motion. I looked around the beach and no one was there so I sprinted back up to the hotel and went straight back to my hotel room with my partner Lee.

The staff later called the police and they came straight away.

Emma revisited the beach before heading on a flight back home with her family in order to leave flowers and a note.

“I don't think I could go to the beach on my own again - definitely not at this present time. I don't think I could go on a beach in Newcastle on my own either at the moment.

"It simply brings again too many recollections. I believe if I went down alone, I'd simply be trying all over for lifeless our bodies.
