Tributes have been paid to top barrister Paul Dockery - and legal advisor for Coronation Street - who has died following a massive stroke. He was 73.
The lawyer boasted an extraordinary legal career spanning six decades, 49 of them as a barrister based at 18 St John Street chambers in Manchester.
He was a well-known figure in courts across Greater Manchester, where he prosecuted and defended thousands of cases involving serious crime including gangland murders, drug smuggling and - later in his career - complex fraud cases.
