Guests evacuated from the Moat House were this morning staying at the New Pack Horse Hotel, off Bradshawgate.
Men and women who were telephoning family and friends outside the building on their mobiles said they were too shaken to comment. It is believed a number of them have been giving statements to the police. Several guests were also sent to the Last Drop Village.
