Campaigners fighting for justice for Northamptonshire teenager Harry Dunn have received the support of almost two hundred thousand people for a petition set up on the website Change dot org.

It calls for the US Government to reconsider it's decision not to extradite the American driver of a car which collided with Harry's motorcycle near RAF Croughton in August last year leaving him with fatal injuries.

A British request to return Anne Sacoolas to the UK has been refused on the grounds that Mrs Sacoolas held diplomatic immunity prompting outrage from Harry's family and friends.

The justice for Harry petition claims the decision disregards longstanding agreements between the two countries.
