WHILE the town will fall silent at 12.27pm on Tuesday to mark the 25th anniversary of the Warrington bombing, many people will remember the victims with a Colours for Peace Day.

School and businesses have been invited to dress in the colours of the foundation – green, white and blue – on Tuesday in memory of the two young boys whose lives were cut tragically short.

The money collected during the awareness day will help enable the team to support more victims of terrorism and communities living in conflict.

Those who take part are asked to make a minimum £1 donation to the foundation.

Wendy Parry, Tim’s mum, said: “As there will be a service in the town to commemorate the 25th anniversary we also wanted to do something that everyone else can do. 

“Whether it is companies or schools, everyone can get involved and it will be their way of remembering Tim and Johnathan and what happened on that day.”

More than 100 businesses and schools have already agreed to take part in the Colours for Peace day including the Warrington Guardian, United Utilities, Culture Warrington, Priestley College and Warrington and Vale Royal College.

A quarter of a century ago on March 20, 1993, two IRA bombs exploded on Bridge Street killing 12-year-old Tim Parry and three-year-old Johnathan Ball while injuring many more.

A commemoration service will be held on Bridge Street on Tuesday with HRH The Princess Royal in attendance. For a list of the road closures click here.
