Manchester born man confirmed as Tunisia victim

A Manchester-born man has been identified as one of the tourists killed in the Tunisia terror attack.

Philip Heathcote, 52, was on holiday with wife Allison to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary, when they were gunned down in the massacre which claimed at least 30 British lives.

Allison who's 48, was shot five times on the beach by the gunman. Pictures of her being carried from the beach on a sunbed were shown around the world. She was flown back to the uk last night.

Her brother, Simon Boon, said Mr Heathcote - originally from Manchester - had “shown my sister love, care and loyalty that was second to none.”
