Good evening. the late news at ten.

:00:09.:00:10.

A special church service has been held in Battle to mark the life

:00:11.:00:15.

of a 37-year-old mother who was killed by a car whilst out

:00:16.:00:18.

Officers have said they are investigating reports the driver may

:00:19.:00:24.

have been under the influence of alcohol at the time.

:00:25.:00:26.

On Mothering Sunday, remembering the mother of three.

:00:27.:00:36.

In the church just yards from where she was hit while out

:00:37.:00:39.

The whole town seems so desperately affected.

:00:40.:00:46.

The children go to the school that my daughter goes to,

:00:47.:00:49.

Very sad day. Very sad, indeed.

:00:50.:00:53.

It makes you think about things a lot more.

:00:54.:01:01.

We were out for a walk on Sunday and saw it all going on, you know.

:01:02.:01:05.

It has just affected us. I just wanted to say goodbye to her.

:01:06.:01:08.

The children suffered shock and minor injuries.

:01:09.:01:10.

But he has since been released from hospital.

:01:11.:01:16.

We're just stunned about what has happened, just like Debbie

:01:17.:01:18.

is going to walk through the door again, but she isn't.

:01:19.:01:21.

It is going to take him a long time to come to terms

:01:22.:01:24.

One thing he did say to me as I was talking about this service

:01:25.:01:28.

today is that he wanted to express his gratitude

:01:29.:01:30.

for how very kind so many people have been to him,

:01:31.:01:33.

to the boys and to the family in this time of need.

:01:34.:01:38.

We thank you so much for the life of Debbie Masters.

:01:39.:01:41.

Debbie Masters was described today as a loving wife and mother

:01:42.:01:44.

What happened here is now the subject of a police investigation.

:01:45.:01:52.

The vicar told the congregation he understood that they would want

:01:53.:01:56.

answers, but he also asked them to remember the driver

:01:57.:01:59.

One of Brighton's biggest attractionsm, the i360,

:02:00.:02:07.

has been forced to close again after a temporary

:02:08.:02:10.

The ride, which has been plagued with problems

:02:11.:02:16.

will remain closed until Tuesday at the earliest.

:02:17.:02:20.

As people flocked to the seafront for Mothers Day, many

:02:21.:02:22.

We were just walking along the beach, saw the 360,

:02:23.:02:27.

A bit of a disappointment that it is not there.

:02:28.:02:34.

Unfortunately we turned up and they said there

:02:35.:02:37.

was a fault yesterday, so they have given as a three-month

:02:38.:02:40.

But we're a little bit disappointed, because everyone

:02:41.:02:43.

A Kent landlady has been left with a ?10,000 repair bill

:02:44.:02:49.

after tenants wrecked her house and disappeared owing

:02:50.:02:51.

Every room of Wendy Gilbert's three-bedroom property

:02:52.:02:53.

Our correspondent Yvette Austin reports.

:02:54.:02:56.

Deliberate destruction, neglect and filth.

:02:57.:03:05.

A positive pregnancy test, a small child lived here.

:03:06.:03:08.

They were living in this, with children.

:03:09.:03:18.

It looks like someone has deliberately ransacked it.

:03:19.:03:20.

Wendy Gilbert says her tenants had refused to leave the house

:03:21.:03:23.

They had also refused to let her letting manager friend inside.

:03:24.:03:30.

Finally she went in and discovered the abandoned mess.

:03:31.:03:32.

This is your retirement, isn't it? Yes.

:03:33.:03:39.

You have got properties for your retirement,

:03:40.:03:40.

so how does this make you feel? Gutted.

:03:41.:03:43.

Yes. I have got to spend money that

:03:44.:03:46.

I really don't need to spend at the moment in doing it up so that

:03:47.:03:49.

I can either sell it, because nobody is going to buy it

:03:50.:03:52.

So I have got to do something, so either sell it or re-let it.

:03:53.:03:58.

The whole house needs to be stripped.

:03:59.:04:00.

New kitchen, new bathroom and other major repairs.

:04:01.:04:04.

And lacking the services of a letting agent,

:04:05.:04:06.

It's not very financially viable for people to be

:04:07.:04:13.

a landlord these days, you're not getting as much

:04:14.:04:15.

However the way to do it is to use a reputable agent,

:04:16.:04:24.

and Arla accredited agent, you have got client money protection,

:04:25.:04:27.

What a lot of landlords fall into the trap of,

:04:28.:04:35.

going for the cheap option, social media,

:04:36.:04:39.

a friend of a friend, they sound good, they get personally

:04:40.:04:42.

Wendy says it has been a steep learning curve.

:04:43.:04:48.

When you first went in, when you first walked through that

:04:49.:04:51.

door, what are your thoughts? Totally amazed.

:04:52.:04:53.

I just did not expect to find what we found.

:04:54.:04:58.

And you do not think that people could leave anybody's

:04:59.:05:02.

property in that way. And they own personal stuff.

:05:03.:05:05.

How did they live like that? The police are investigating.

:05:06.:05:09.

Time for the weather with Alina jenkins.

:05:10.:05:14.

The start of British summertime today and the weather

:05:15.:05:16.

didn't disappoint. Plenty of sunshine around.

:05:17.:05:20.

It is a fine evening, dry tonight with mainly clear skies.

:05:21.:05:23.

The winds slowly starting to lose some of their strength,

:05:24.:05:27.

and temperatures by dawn will be no lower than

:05:28.:05:29.

Could be a little bit more cloud around through the morning,

:05:30.:05:35.

but otherwise much the same as today, plenty of sunshine,

:05:36.:05:38.

and the difference is that the winds will be slowly easing,

:05:39.:05:41.

so it will not feel quite as chilly as it has done on the coast.

:05:42.:05:44.

Inland, we could well see highs of 15, 16 Celsius,

:05:45.:05:47.

It continues into Tuesday and Wednesday, further

:05:48.:05:52.

Just a very small chance of further showers.

:05:53.:05:55.

For the first time this year, the temperature reached 20 Celsius, the

:05:56.:06:14.

highest recorded in Highland Scotland, lovely picture from

:06:15.:06:18.

earlier on. We have seen more cloud around today, mostly thin, high

:06:19.:06:20.

cloud, but

:06:21.:06:21.
