Roof tile "edge clamps" ?

Big gust the other night lifted the edge tiles from a section of our
roof. The mortar looks original so really needs re-doing but is there
anything that can be used to somehow clamp the tiles to the underside of
the edge of the roof?

Our next door neighbour has lead flashing folded down over the tiles
presumably to stop this problem. (his is the only house out of the
surrounding 6 or 7 that shows no signs of tile lifting.

can't find anything along the lines of what I'm after, but there must be
something out there.

Cheers
Pete

==================================
They're called '(roof) verge clips' and I think they're matched to
particular tiles. A visit to your local roofing specialist should provide
a solution.

Brilliant Keith.
Thankyou.

Not much chance of finding out which ones I need for the tiles I have I
suppose.

I'll try and get a picture on-line to assist
