Thanks for the update - and I do apologise for starting a new topic, I was on the bus, and on the mobile...

I am at work and can see the plumes of smoke - and can see the War Memorial statue from my office... If anyone can keep us updated, it would be appreciated.

We saw it coming into work this morning - about 6:45am and it was a huge plume of smoke even then.
