A Huddersfield couple on honeymoon in Tunisia with their young son were locked in a hotel.

Lee and Jessica Goldspink, of Cowlersley, are staying in Sousse with their two-year-old son Lennon and were among many guests locked in a hotel as news of the terror attack broke.

The pair, who married at Briar Court Hotel last month, are hoping to fly home as soon as possible.

They spoke to Jessica’s sister, Sophie, of Slaithwaite, and told her how armed guards and helicopters swamped the hotel this afternoon.

“Jessica said they had been by the pool when staff came and told people to get back into the hotel.

“They didn’t know what was happening but then saw it on the news. Their hotel is about three miles from where it happened but there are guards everywhere, which makes them feel safer.

“They have been told to stay in their room with the curtains closed but no-one seems to know how and when they will be able to get out”.

Lee, 30, a keen Huddersfield Town fan, and Jessica, 24, flew to Tunisia on Thursday and were due to spend another week at the resort.

Sophie added: “The reassuring thing is we know they are safe. Their little boy is with them, although Lee does have another son at home.“They are hoping to find out soon when they can fly back here and we just want them home”
