A minute's silence will be held later this afternoon to remember the tragic deaths of Tim Parry and Johnathan Ball
Warrington will soon fall silent as it remembers a tragic 1993 bomb attack that led to the death of two boys.
Cheshire County Fire Officer Dennis David said in 1993: "There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if the bomb on the cylinders had gone off we could have been facing a most dreadful situation. But luckily, the device only damaged the mountings." "At the police station I was sent with a colleague, who’s no longer in the job, to the accident and emergency department at Warrington Hospital. I knew a bomb had gone off in Bridge Street but I didn’t know if anyone had been injured or killed.
Mr Parry previously said: "We wanted no more families to suffer as we and so many others had suffered. We wanted peace and that gave a sense of purpose to our lives which would otherwise have been empty of anything but grief and anger and incomprehension.
