Tributes paid to former North West paramedic lost to Covid

Ambulance service staff are paying tribute to a former paramedic who died last weekend after contracting Covid.

Peter Millington, 58, worked in the emergency services for more than 30 years. He had been a paramedic in Wigan before becoming part of the North West Ambulance Service's regional control team.

The organisation say he was a "very valued and popular member of the team, always having a happy outlook and very helpful no matter what the issue."

Peter leaves behind his fiancée Lynn Caddick and his two children, Sophie and Alex.
