Beloved grandad dreaming of a retirement by the sea 'stolen' from his family

Roger Parris' daughter wept as she told his killer she could no longer look at her wedding photos without being overcome by grief. Salford milkman Mr Parris, 63, was hit by a silver Volkswagen Golf as he cycled to work on the Centenary Bridge, heading towards Eccles.

The car was driven by Ravi Singh Ratthore, 22, who was behind the wheel unsupervised, despite only carrying a provisional licence at the time of the tragedy. More than a dozen of Mr Parris' loved ones watched on from the public gallery at Minshull Street Crown Court as his killer was jailed yesterday (Wednesday, July 5).

Heartfelt tributes were paid to Mr Parris in court during three victim impact statements. His daughter Heather spoke of the special moments she shared with her dad on her wedding day.
