Parliament hears tribute to 'pioneering' former ECHO journalist Dan Kay

The 'extraordinary and pioneering' work of a former Liverpool Echo journalist who died suddenly has been honoured in Parliament.

Dan Kay, 45, was a tireless campaigner on behalf of the families and survivors of the Hillsborough disaster. He was a much-loved member of the ECHO team for many years where he pioneered digital journalism in the newsroom and helped to lead this newspaper's coverage of the Hillsborough legal proceedings.

News of Dan's death yesterday led to an enormous outpouring of sadness and love for a man described as 'kind, generous and gentle' by all who knew him. Today in Parliament, Wirral South Labour MP Alison McGovern raised a point of order so that Dan's legacy as a tireless Hillsborough justice campaigner would be noted in Hansard, the permanent record of the House of Commons.
