Colin Parry. Death of his son Tim. Warrington 15 years on............

I happened to turn over to BBC1 last night and saw Colin Parry on The One Show. What an inspiration that man and his wife are, they showed the centre that was opened in memory of Tim and Johnathan Ball. Also he went back to Northern Ireland to see how it has changed. I think he is an amazing man and i wish him well in the future.

I agree, I'm sorry I missed the show.

I remember working in a shop in Warrington and Colin Parry came in. It was a year after his son had died and he was wearing a badge with his face on it. After he left the other shop girls all bitched about how he was wallowing in it, it had been a year now, he should stop milking the situation for his own self publication

How sad those people were, i bet it would have been different if it had been one of their relatives!

I have just checked the bbc iplayer and the programme is on there for six more days.........

I remember that and a bit it is 15 years ago.

I thought the parents were dignified and respectful and I pass on my thoughts to them.

I actually attended a conference where he was a guest speaker. Everyone was in tears when he finished speaking. A remarkable man and an inspiration to all who have ever heard him speak or met hime.
