28 yrs ago today, there was sunshine in the sky and a smile on Tim’s face as he went to buy Everton shorts. 2 men had other plans - to bomb a shopping street. Their plan succeeded but Tim’s did not as his smile died with him on that dark day. RIP Tim x

My son TIM is 39 today but he only got to live 12 of them because somebody thought that a shopping street was a legitimate place to plant a terrorist bomb. No cause can ever justify such an inhuman act. TIM lives on @peacefoundation . This is his memorial xxx

Another apparent act of terror in Manchester with several people sustaining stabbing injuries. These acts serve no political purpose but they do alienate communities and deepen distrust. If you have been affected, contact @peacecentre . We are here to help

It is 8.25am and at this time 24 years ago, my son Tim had just 4 more hours of his life left before the world shattered around him. RIP Tim

Danny’s as genuine a man as you could wish to, not only meet, but to build a friendship with and he has been kindness itself to my family. He is without ego and deserving of the kind of compliment most people would settle for...simply a good man

A run through #mothersday on BBC2 Monday coming at 9pm. It is a searingly honest account of how we lost Tim and found a worthy cause in his and Johnathans names. Please watch

Having recently visited @SriLanka and met so many happy Sri Lankans, it’s all the more abhorrent that innocent worshippers have been murdered on such a holy day. The only answer lies international action to build peace between all people - vis @peacefoundation

Hashem Abedi guilty of murder with his brother Salman. Both born in GB. The need for @peacecentre to work with young people who believe murder on the grounds of faith or race is vital.Please retweet to show your support and campaign to prevent our closure

It is to be earnestly hoped the the government will recognise the most urgent need to fund @peacefoundation and our 25 years experience in countering extremism after the latest murder of innocents on our streets.

Very proud of my lovely granddaughter Evie on being given the Tim Parry Trophy by her Primary school in her final year. Like all our grandchildren, Evie has always had a very strong family bond with her Uncle Tim, which means so much to Wendy and me

Sad to hear that Tessa Jowell has lost her fight against cancer. She was a good politician and an even better human being who helped us meet David Cameron at No.10

What touches me most deeply on this day is the quiet dignity of all the veterans and the nation as we mark Remembrance Day and our forefathers who gave their lives for this great country.
