Ben Nicholson was with wife Anita and children Alex, 14, and Annabel, 11, at the Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo when a suspected suicide bomber set off his device.

Luckily for him, he survived the blast but lost his wife and children.

In a statement he released, Been described his wife as “wonderful” and “perfect” and his children as “amazing, intelligent, talented and thoughtful”.

“Following reports in the media over the past 36 hours, my family and I wish to confirm that my wife Anita, our son Alex and our daughter Annabel were killed in the bombing of the restaurant of the Shangri-la Hotel, Colombo on Sunday morning while sitting at our table.

“Mercifully, all three of them died instantly and with no pain or suffering.

“I am deeply distressed at the loss of my wife and children. Anita was a wonderful, perfect wife and a brilliant, loving and inspirational mother to our two wonderful children.

“The holiday we had just enjoyed was a testament to Anita’s enjoyment of travel and providing a rich and colourful life for our family, and especially our children.

“Alex and Annabel were the most amazing, intelligent, talented and thoughtful children and Anita and I were immensely proud of them both and looking forward to seeing them develop into adulthood.

“They shared with their mother the priceless ability to light up any room they entered and bring joy to the lives of all they came into contact with.

“I would like to give my sincere thanks for the medical teams at General Hospital, Colombo, for treating Anita, Alex and Annabel with great dignity and me with kindness and sympathy.

“I would also like to thank the teams at the British High Commission and Adhvan Tours who have looked after me since Sunday morning and the Sri Lankan people I have encountered in Colombo following this catastrophe.

“Anita, Alex and Annabel leave behind a large extended family and many close and cherished friends who are now grieving this tragic loss. We shall all miss them dearly.

“We are all grateful for the many expressions of support and good wishes. We would ask that the media now respect our privacy and allow us to grieve together.”
