Earlier today we published an article suggesting that the bouncy castle which caused the tragedy at Gorleston beach was owned by Cribs and Bibs Group Limited.

This was a mistake on our part. Cribs and Bibs Group Limited did not supply the bouncy castle at Gorleston beach and we apologise for our error.
