Joanna Lumley is among those to congratulate the families of the #Chennai6.
Actor John Bowe tweeted this morning to remind them of the support they had behind them.
The Emmerdale star has been a huge supporter of the campaign to free Wigton's John Armstrong and five other Britons held in an Indian jail for more than two years.
#Chennai6 Just to let you know that Joanna Lumley emailed me this morning to congratulate us all on never giving up on the Chennai6 @LisaJayneDunn @vonniemac123 and everyone.
