Dad and daughter's sadness at end of Vauxhall era

A father and daughter have shared their sadness at the closure of Vauxhall's van-making factory in Luton.

Paul and Cass Geary are part of four generations of their family to have worked at the plant in Bedfordshire since it opened in 1905.

Vauxhall's parent company, Stellantis, announced the closure in November as it planned to move its electric van production to another site in Cheshire.

"If I think about it too much I start crying because it is a comfort, it's been home to me for the last 10 years," said Ms Geary, a warranty analyst.

The 31-year-old said she felt "an immense sense of pride" each time she walked through the gates of the Kimpton Road plant, where the last van rolled off the production line on Friday afternoon.

"I often walk around thinking 'did my grandad walk down these corridors? Did my great grandad walk down these corridors">Police say he tried to evade capture by destroying his sim card and staying at the Airbnb.
