Dad's 'future changed forever' the day son was killed in bombing

A dad told how his family's "future changed forever" the day his son was killed in the Warrington bombing.

Hundreds of people lined the streets of Warrington town centre today to remember the lives of 12-year-old Tim Parry and three-year-old Johnathan Ball, who were killed in the IRA bombing on March 20, 1993.

Both boys had been out shopping for Mother's Day cards with their families when they were caught up in the atrocity 30 years ago. 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.
