Lads’ hols pool horror
A YOUNG man who could not swim was pulled into a pool by a pal on a lads’ holiday before he drowned, an inquest heard.
Shane Virmani, 26, had been on a boat trip and out clubbing in Malia, Crete, before he died in 2012.
The inquest heard his group went to their hotel where staff were “not doing anything” about guests jumping into the pool.
Timothy Staines said he “had no idea” friend Shane could not swim and pulled him into the water as he dangled his legs in.
Shane, of Ilford, east London, had been threetimes the drink-drive limit.
In a narrative verdict Coroner Graeme Irvine told the Walthamstow hearing there was no “hostile intent” towards Shane.
Mum Melanie said after: “Shane was a very much loved son and brother. We will miss him always.”
URI Geller is urging Daily Star Sunday readers to use their minds to help him fix the “broken” Royal Family.
Fresh from resolving the Suez crisis, the “paranormalist” reckons a wave of positive thoughts will also heal the split in our nation’s most dysfunctional family.
Psychic spoon bender Geller, 74, said: “We proved by moving the stuck ship in the Suez Canal that our minds are powerful.
“I am alarmed and disappointed at the rift that has arisen in the Royal Family. I believe all humanity is connected emotionally and spiritually by an invisible thread.
“Using this channel we can reach out to the family and convince them to embrace once again.”
The Windsors were rocked when a publicity-shy couple aired their grievances in a global TV interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The former actress claimed she got no support from the family despite having suicidal thoughts.
She accused one royal of raising concerns, before her son Archie was born, about how dark his skin was likely to be. Her husband also claimed his father, Prince Charles, refused to return his calls.
But Uri says the family will be reunited if our readers can visualise them together.
He added: “I have been a friend to some royals for 40 years. I truly believe Star readers can send such strong positive energy that it will solve the divisions.
“You should visualise a picture in your mind of the individual members of the family gelling together as often as you can throughout the next few days.”
Uri has also recorded a video message to the bloke to ask him to make amends to the Queen.
He tells him: “This video I’m making to you personally is an appeal to make this rift between you and your grandmother disappear.
“I suggest you pick up the phone and call her then get in a plane and come to England and give her a hug and a kiss. The whole country is waiting. Look into my eyes, feel my power. You’re a healer and you can do this.”
It comes after US news anchor Gayle King claimed the unassuming pair were keen to repair their relationship with senior royals, adding: “I think it’s about a family that wants to be united and be together, and I’m hoping that will be the case.”
Uri credited himself and our readers for freeing the Ever Given tanker after urging us to use our minds last week. His latest book, Learn How To Dowse, is out now.
