Ten days ago we lost Coral Atkins, who set up a children's home in Newbury.

Harry Whitehead, Coral Atkins' son:

"She was working on 'A Family at War' at the time, and she was invited to open a fete at a children's home. When she walking into the kitchen she saw a child crying under the table...she found herself under the table cradling the child.

"She said, I'm going to open a children's home...two years later she achieved that.

"They were seriously disturbed children. Coral's take on it was that they were the sane children of mad adults."
