The quake occurred on the night of August 24, 2016, destroying the towns of Amatrice, Accumoli, and Pescara del Tronto in central Italy. It killed at least 268 people, injured hundreds, and rendered up to 2,500 people homeless.

The newspaper quoted neighbour, Davide Perrone, 26, who helped save the couple’s children, Jack (14) and Francesca (15), as saying:

“I heard from a firefighter that Will and Maria were still in bed, hugging each other.

“It’s so sad, now those poor children are orphans.”

Will was 55 while his wife, Maria was 51. The couple are from Stockwell, South London.
