It was the day before Mother's Day 1993, when two bombs exploded on one of Warrington's busiest shopping streets.
The IRA bombing claimed the lives of 12-year-old Tim Parry and three-year-old Johnathan Ball, who had both been out with their families to buy a Mother's Day card. The explosion came less than half an hour after a coded message was sent to the Samaritans warning them that a bomb would go off in Liverpool city centre, 19 miles away from Warrington.
Today the town will fall silent to remember the two boys who lost their lives 30 years ago in an atrocity that people across the North West will never forget.
