James Bulger's mum shares favourite memories of 'fun, loving' son killed 30 years ago

James Bulger's mum has shared some of her favourite memories of her "fun, loving" son on the anniversary of his murder.

It is 30 years since James was murdered on February 12, 1993, one month short of his third birthday. Grainy CCTV footage of the toddler being led away from Bootle’s Strand shopping centre by his killers remains one of the most chilling images in recent history.

The impact of James' murder was felt around the world and his killers Jon Venables and Robert Thompson became the youngest convicted murderers in the UK in more than a century. Speaking to the ECHO ahead of today's anniversary, Denise Fergus said not being able to say goodbye or I love you to her son still hurts her to this day.
