A son who lost both of his parents to Covid-19 this week has described losing family to the virus as "devastating" and urged people to be vigilant in protecting each other from the virus.
Owen and Bredge Ward from Strabane in Co Tyrone, died with 12 hours of each other in Altnagelvin Hospital in Co Derry on Monday.
Their son Martin described his parents as "inseparable". The couple were married for 48 years, having met when they were 17.
They had six children, and nine grandchildren, with a tenth on the way, who they did not get to meet. They were both aged 68 when they died.
