I hope that this woman is not the one that Was on the open top bus with me on Thursday 26 th April. She seemed somewhat disturbed, not crying but covering her face frequently. She got off the bus at Beachy Head and headed straight towards the cliff. She would have been in her fifties, blonde, and was wearing a bright red waterproof jacket. When I saw the news report the following day I was quite worried.
