A great-great-grandad, well-known as a 'big character' in Salford, has died from coronavirus - and only a few members of his family will be able to say goodbye at his funeral.
Thomas Fox, died in Salford Royal Hospital in the early hours of Monday morning, just one week after being diagnosed with coronavirus.
Mr Fox, known as Tommy to his friends and family, was a sociable pillar of his community in Pendleton raising a big family - including eight sons, tens of grandchildren and even a few great-great-grandchildren.
At 92, the former miner could still cook and clean for himself, and would always dress smartly in a suit for an evening at his local pub, where he loved to sing.
