"He just told me to run away. He said: ‘I love you babe. But just go - tell our children that their daddy loves them."

Engaged couple Sarah and Matthew, from Pontypridd, South Wales, had left their two children Tegan, six, and Kaden, 14 months at home with their family when they jetted out to Sousse on June 21 for a two-week break.
