Couple were celebrating anniversary before Bahamas tragedy

Leanne Gregory, from Nottinghamshire, died while attempting to rescue her two sons who were swept out to sea in the Bahamas during their 10th wedding anniversary celebration. Nathan Gregory, her husband, recounted the incident on BBC on Sunday, stating that their sons were snorkeling on the beach when the situation occurred. Nathan and Leanne both jumped into the water to save their children, who were pulled into the ocean by a riptide.

Despite their heroic efforts, Leanne was unable to be saved and was later pronounced dead at a local medical clinic. Both boys were rescued and are now with their father. Nathan expressed his admiration for Leanne, describing her as a hero in both life and death for her selfless actions. The community of Stapleford rallied around the family, with a GoFundMe campaign raising nearly £9,000 for their support.
