Neighbours of Tommy Sheridan's mum pay tribute to 'wee character' after fatal flat fire
Neighbours of Tommy Sheridan's mother have paid tribute to a 'wee character' after she tragically died in a fire at her Glasgow home.
Worried neighbours told how they gathered in the street as firefighters ran inside the high-rise flats wearing breathing apparatus. Smoke was seen billowing out the property on the first floor. "I rushed out to speak to the neighbours and make sure everyone was okay. We just saw some smoke but there were no flames. The fire seemed to be contained to the flat - but when we saw the fire brigade going in with the breathing apparatus we knew it was bad.A third neighbour said: "We saw all the emergency services but they all left after a few hours. We didn't know she had passed away until this morning. It's a shame.
“Her efforts to support the battered wives movement and secure trade union backing for a refuge is a matter of record and source of pride. Her pioneering work with child and adult victims of sexual abuse while employed by the Royal Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was ground breaking and a source of help for several hundreds.
Another person wrote: "So very sad Thomas. I was very fond of Alice. She was such a source of kindness and encouragement in my life. RIP beautiful lady."
