A HEARTBROKEN mum whose two young sons died in a house fire started by their own father hopes to buy a new home and return to work as she looks to rebuild her life.

Claire Throssell, formerly Claire Sykes, lost Jack, 12, and Paul, nine, after the blaze in Penistone in October.

Claire is also planning a memorial concert for October 24, a year and two days after the fire.

Since the tragedy, Claire has been inundated with letters, poems and messages of support and some of the tributes will be displayed at the concert in St John's Church, Penistone.
