Witness describes flash, then darkness at Guildford pub bomb inquest

The former Women's Royal Army Corps soldier said she then feared another explosion would soon follow.The Guildford Four and Maguire Seven were wrongly-convicted before the IRA claimed responsibility. She said two men, who she thought were soldiers, stood either side of the entrance "dragging everyone through".
They were in the Three Pigeons, six or seven miles away, when they heard the explosion and went out shortly after to see the pub "in pieces", the inquest heard. He described what he saw looking at the Horse & Groom: "I remember looking at the actual hole which was at the table we were sitting at."Rob King, pictured in the 1980s, went on to work for national newspapers
