Tunisia Inquests: Ray and Angela Fisher

He was outgoing, and hated school - she was angelic, studious and determined.

They didn’t work on paper, their daughter said today - but for Ray and Angela Fisher, it was a case of opposites attract.

The couple, both born and raised in Leicester, were married at St Anne’s Parish Church on September 19, 1965.

Fifty years later, less than three months before they could celebrate their Golden Anniversary, they were shot dead on holiday in Tunisia.

The inquest into the massacre on the beach resort in Sousse is being held at the Royal Court of Justice in London, and is due to take around six weeks.

Each day, the court is hearing evidence on the lives, and deaths, of the 38 victims.

Today, the inquest heard from Donna Bradley - Ray and Angela’s daughter; the eldest of their two children.

She described how her parents loved to travel - they were members of the Caravan Club as she was growing up, she said, and as they grew older they began to travel the world.

They had been on a holiday of a lifetime when her father had retired at the age of 62, she told the hearing - visiting Australia, Singapore and Thailand.

She told how both her parents were popular, and had large groups of friends with whom they met up, and holidayed with, regularly.

“They will not be forgotten,” she said. “But they will be missed.”

She said her father had been a ‘Teddy Boy’ growing up - and kept in touch with his friends, who together became known as the ‘Grandad Squad’ as they got older.

He met his wife-to-be at a nightclub, and worked as an engineer, a window cleaner and a school caretaker before he retired, while she worked in a bank and as a hairdresser.

They had been sitting on the front row of sun loungers when gunman Seifiddine Rezgui attacked.

Ray, aged 75, was shot in the neck and chest - 69-year-old Angela was shot five times, in the head, neck, chest and abdomen.

The details were read out in court at the request of the family, who - despite clearly emotional at the prospect - said they wanted people to know what had happened.

The inquest heard both suffered "unsurvivable" injuries and would have died almost instantly.

They were among 20 to be killed on the beach - Rezgui then moved into the hotel, killing eight more in the building and 10 in the hotel grounds. He was later shot in an alleyway by armed police.

Mrs Bradley told the court of the family’s devastation that her parents never got to meet their first grandchild.

Their one comfort, she said, was that they died together.
