Son's touching gesture for dad who died weeks before his wedding

A "popular" dad died suddenly six weeks before his son's wedding.

Robert Jones, also known as Bob to loved ones, had been on holiday with friends four weeks before he died. The 75-year-old, from Formby, had also been playing an 18-hole round of golf two weeks before his sudden death in May last year.

His son Gareth Jones said his dad's death came as a shock to the family and he had been chatting to Bob days before he died. The family were told Bob had pulmonary fibrosis - a condition in which the lungs become scarred and breathing becomes increasingly difficult.
