Man killed in pandemic would be celebrating his 95th birthday today as Covid inquiry launches

A grieving son whose dad would have turned 95 today had he not died due to coronavirus said he desperately hopes lessons will be learned from the Covid inquiry.

Glyn Lewis, who is described by his son as being “tough as old boots”, died in October 2020 aged 93, about a week after he fell ill in his care home in Stratford-upon-Avon.

As the Covid inquiry opens, Peter Lewis, one of the millions of Brits who have lost someone to Covid, has said he wants to see lessons learned in the inquiry to avoid the mistakes that led to his father’s death from being made again.
