Date

Andrea Dykes, 27, was four months pregnant. She and a friend died instantly. The best man from her wedding would die later in hospital raising the death toll to three.

Their killer, David Copeland, a 23-year-old engineer from Hampshire believed he was part of a master race and his bombings were part of a ‘cleansing’ campaign.

But he wasn’t masterful enough to cover his tracks and he was arrested and sentenced to six life terms.
