Freed British hostage Faye Turney told last night how she feared she was being measured for her coffin by her evil Iranian captors.

Her daughter, Eleanor Dlugosz, a medic, was one of four British colleagues killed with their interpreter when a roadside bomb destroyed their Warrior Armoured Vehicle in Basra last Thursday.
