Judy Murray has fought through adversity and tragedy to help guide Britain's next tennis stars, right from the grassroots in Scotland up to her two grand slam-winning sons.

On March 13 in that year a local, Thomas Hamilton, shot 16 children and a teacher before turning the gun on himself inside the Dunblane Primary School gym.Judy heard the news on the radio, trying desperately to get to the school along with every other Dunblane parent who had a child there.

"I was in the same situation as so many other mums in the town in that we were all rushing to get to the school when we heard that there had been a shooting. Of course, it was in the days before mobile phones. "Life had to go on … so I think definitely it made me think, 'Whatever we want to do, let's just go and do it.'

"We never forget, but the town has moved on enormously and I think Jamie and Andy's successes in tennis have given everybody so much excitement, so much pride and connected the town with something happy and positive."
