One of two killed by the Docklands IRA bomb. They were both workers in the newsagent’s directly opposite the bomb.

Our colleague Andrew Behan has researched this man and found the photo: John Alan Jeffries was born on 9 December 1964 in Lewisham, the son of John W. Jeffries and Betty Ellen Jeffries, née Pattison. He was killed working in a newsagent shop as a result of an IRA terrorist explosion at Canary Wharf, aged 31 years, on 9 February 1996.
