WHAT should have been a relaxing holiday ended in tragedy last week when a man from Bishop's Hull drowned off the Spanish coast.

Painter and decorator Barry Rew-bury, 47, of Farrant Close, had only been in Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca three days when tragedy struck.

He was on a ten-day break with his lifelong friends, the Pietrasz family, also of Taunton.
