The De Rohans flew home, and Mrs De Rohan said she was convinced she would find her daughter alive in hospital. We were told there were 16 unidentified bodies but Ali and Francis weren't among them. My husband insisted on going to the morgue to see for himself. He came back, kissed me on the cheek, and said 'Ali's there. Francis isn't'. I was right, we'd found her in a hospital. I didn't realise it would be in the morgue. Francis was still on the Herald of Free Enterprise until it was refloated.
It took about three and a half weeks before we got his body back. They're buried together in Windsor cemetery. If they'd found something they really, really believed in, I could just imagine they'd sacrifice their lives for it. But not this. Several crew members of the Herald were at the college. Gradually, news came through that a British ferry was in trouble. When the men realised it was their ship they became deeply anxious. He travelled to Dover as soon as he could and spent two weeks in the Seafarers' Centre providing practical and emotional support.
I have dealt with individual loss of life with seafarers' families over the years, but so many people lost their lives that night. I wanted to do the right things. Who can train you for that? You depend upon the grace of God. It was his first posting as a seafarer. He'd only just finished his college course. As much as I ministered to his family, they ministered to me too. Some of the families had to wait a long time for the recovery of their loved ones' bodies. I gave her all the support I could during that time.
The windows were under water. A memorial event also took place in Zeebrugge, where every year people gather in front of a statue erected to those who died. A video message from the governor of West Flanders, Carl Decaluwe, was shown during both the Dover and Zeebrugge services.
He said: "Neither in Belgium, nor in the UK, have we forgotten the victims and rescuers of the Herald. We are today united in our commemoration. Service remembers ferry disaster. Woman tells of Zeebrugge family loss. Zeebrugge 25th anniversary marked. Zeebrugge survivor still grieves.

The report names several crew members negligence in their duties as contributing factors in the capsizing of the Herald.
Mr Mark Victor Stanley is named as being the crew member responsible for ensuring the bow doors were closed, the report acknowledges that Mr.
Stanley accepted responsibility for this and also that he will suffer remor se for many years to come. The report criticised the attitude of Mr. Terence Ayling who was serving as bosun on the Herald. He left G deck for his harbour station knowing that the bow doors were open and the assistant bosun was not present to close them. When questioned regarding his actions he advised the enquiry that he did nothing about it because it had never been part of his duties.
Chief Officer Leslie Sabel gave evidence to the enquiry and was found to have given a conflicting statement to that which he had given earlier however the investigation recognised that Mr. Sabel had been seriously injured during the capsizing and that this may have affected his recollection of events. Judge Sheen questioned why the failing of one member of staff could lead to such a catastrophe and why systems had not been implemented to ensure that the doors had been closed, particularly as this was not the first time a spirit class ferry had sailed with the bow doors open.
