More than £160,000 has been raised for a policeman who has ‘nothing left’ after his wife and two children died in a house fire on Boxing Day.

Tom Shearman tried to rescue his family who were trapped inside the devastating blaze at their family home in Brimscombe, near Stroud, Gloucestershire.

His wife, Fionnghuala Shearman, known as Nu, died alongside her daughter, Eve, aged seven, and four-year-old son Ohner.
