Judy Murray has described how narrowly her sons Jamie and Andy escaped death when a gunman killed 16 children and a teacher in their primary school Dunblane in 1996.

She told the Radio Times, "Andy's class had been on their way to the gym. That's how close he was to what happened."

Mrs Murray described how she and other parents waited to hear what happened to their children:

"It was impossible to believe something like that could happen in your little town. Sometimes it still is," she added.
