Lindsay Rimer left her home in Hebden Bridge, near Halifax, on 7 November to buy cornflakes from a nearby shop but never returned.

One of Deliveroo's first backers, Danny Rimer of Index Ventures, told the BBC in 2023 that if he had his time again he would have voted for a US listing, and people close to the company agree that the current takeover bid was partly enabled by DoorDash's access to US capital markets.

Although no-one in Lindsay Rimer's family knew it yet, their lives had changed forever.

On a rainy November night Lindsay Rimer walked the short route from her home to a local shop to buy breakfast cereal.

“Science took the lead,” even “in a highly political environment,” Rimer recalls.
