As the day stretched into night on August 19, 2002, a steady stream of mourners passed through St Andrew’s Church in Soham, Cambridgeshire.
They queued to pay tribute to best friends Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, whose bodies had been found two days earlier at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk Mildenhall in Suffolk.
‘We have got through hundreds of candles. We keep running out’, the vicar, Tim Alban Jones, said at the time.
