A STUDENT from Henley has told how she was almost caught up in the Paris terror attacks in which 129 people died. Amy Brandis, 20, who is studying in the French capital, was on her way to see a friend in the Place de la République on Friday night when gunmen shot 39 people in attacks on two restaurants and a café. One incident happened in rue Alibert, a few doors from where her friend lives, and she would have been there had she not decided on a last-minute change of clothes.

Campaigners fighting for a Henley gym and swimming pool to re-open have now collected almost 1,250 signatures on a petition. The Keep Henley Active pressure group wants to save the former LA Fitness complex in Newtown Road.
