Skye's clothes remain untouched inside a chest of drawers in her parents' bedroom while in the next room there are posters on Bailey’s bedroom wall that they haven’t been able to tear down.And around the house in Prestatyn are pictures of the two children alongside snaps of their five siblings, including their younger sister and two brothers who they never got the chance to meet.“Everyone deals with things differently, but for us having pictures and those reminders of those happy memories helps us cope.

Even though it's been 10 years, it doesn't feel like that, it feels like yesterday," said Steve.Man United fan Bailey and “daddy's girl” Skye had gone to stay with Lee-Anna, loving uncle Liam and “cheeky” cousin Charlie on October 19, 2012.
