| Good evening The loss of Jordan Banks was one which united the world in tragedy and devastated the community - how was it even possible a little lad like Jordan could be struck by lightning? His death linked all parents in grief and for his own family was an unbearable loss. Today his inquest simply reaffirmed that Jordan was a remarkable boy in the wrong place at the wrong time and there was no human blame for his death. His family will take comfort in the fact he died instantly but nothing will ever assuage their loss. They should be proud that they have held their heads up high throughout for love for a brave, feisty, little boy. Jordan’s legacy will live on, through his organ donations, through his ability in death to unite and to provoke an outpouring of love. He has left an indelible mark on Blackpool - his loss made us all more charitable and more caring and hopefully a bit nicer to each other. Now time for the little lad with the big smile to rest in peace.
