Not such good news

I agree with awards comments. These men are heroes.

All out now. Doctor and 3 rescuers last to leave.
Shame the boys won't be able to get to the world cup but they are apparently going to go to Man. United instead when they are well enough.

I so agree Jaycee, they were all volunteers risking their lives should get the highest medals you can get

BlueBelle I was thinking that. One of them has an MBE which is not a particularly high reward given the number of rescues he had already been involved in. Someone who runs in circles fast becomes a sir and someone who saves lives either gets no recognition or a lower medal. There were apparently 7 British drivers there and they should all receive something.
There should be far fewer awards but those that are given should be more than someone just been good and successful at their job. These men aren't even doing this for a living.

And the New Years honours list instead of some daft z list celebrity

Now - there are people who deserve a 'gong'!!

Not some singer who has made a lot of money from warbling.

Just heard an interview of a father of one of the British divers who was in the cave until the last and now the doctor and all divers are out
I had presumed they had chosen the divers for their experience and prowess but no, it was as simple as measuring their shoulder width
Absolutely amazing

What a relief - I did wonder if they would be there for months and didn't think they could survive that.

Now let's hope all the divers get out safely too - and they put a huge iron grid over the entrance to the cave.

This is amazing, and so much better than we dared hope for. Fingers still crossed for the other divers though!

Oh thank goodness what a relief I ve been out this morning and the first thing I did was come on here to get the latest I m so relieved what a mammoth and wonderful rescue Now I can have a quiet few tears of joy and thankfulness xxx

Great news! BBC reports that all the boys including Coach are out!! Four divers (one of them a doctor) remained with them through the night and are still in the cave. They are expected to come out next. So relieved and happy for everyone involved..... absolute heroes!

So, so for the diver, but for the boys and their coach.
Is there such a thing as a 'hero' emoji for all their incredibly brave rescuers?

They are saying 30 minutes to an hour before all the drivers are all out so not totally all clear yet but is looking good.

amazing but sad about the diver that died.

Thanks Mapleleaf I have been news channel surfing all morning but missed the news when it came, so great to hear.

Just been a newsflas - all 12 boys now out. Just the coach to rescue now. Fingers crossed all goes well for this final rescue.

Just in case they successfully get them all out- I still hardly dare think it for fear of tempting fate - GN could do providing us with an almighty 'cheer' emoji. Plus a special emoji of some sort in memory if the diver who so tragically lost his life.

Brilliant news. Apparently the second rescue was 2 hours quicker than the first and they believe that this one will be quicker again. The first boys taken to hospital are said to be doing well and walking around the ward.

Wonderful news.
It was a miracle that they were even found. Now it looks so hopeful for a complete rescue.

Eleven out now and first two that were out two days ago are eating and walking about
All boys came out wearing sunglasses (as they had been in the dark so long) and on stretches as very weak
The latest news says the coach actually followed the boys into the cave as they ran in ahead of him !

Yes Bluebelle ,
How fortunate the serious rain held off. Waiting for good news.

Latest breaking news 10 boys out

The next phase of the rescue is under way Hold our breath for anothe4 good outcome
Two of the boys already rescued are on antibiotics for pneumonia

Yes Jaycee another four out today just five left now oh so pleased hopefully the others will be brought out tomorrow
What a relief when they ar3 all out

Now reporting on CNN that rescue operations done for today. No other confirmations yet.
