Son of Tunisia attack victim Sue Davey in poignant tribute for minute's silence | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
The young son of a victim of the Tunisia beach massacre has paid a series of poignant tributes to his mother ahead of the minute's silence to remember those killed. | |
Conor Fulford made an emotional tribute to Sue Davey on Twitter, saying that, although the advice on what to wear had been smart/casual, he would instead wear a three-piece suit because his mother had always said "to make sure I looked smart no matter what". | |
In a series of touching tweets, Conor said that watching his mother's body being repatriated to RAF Brize Norton on Friday would be "tough" - and that his attire would be anything but "casual" for the occasion. | |
On Friday morning, Conor posted a photo of the his three-piece suit on Instagram, and wrote: "Let's go see our beautiful mom home." | On Friday morning, Conor posted a photo of the his three-piece suit on Instagram, and wrote: "Let's go see our beautiful mom home." |
