Peter Lloyd, who was a chief technician in the RAF, developed bowel and liver cancer after being given contaminated blood in a transfusion in 1985.

At every step through the Infected Blood Inquiry, he has been in his family's hearts and minds. Just like every other bereaved family carrying the memories of loved ones throughout their long fight for justice. 'The way I feel... I don't feel like my brother can rest until we all rest,' Peter Lloyd's sister Sarah told Sky News. Mr Lloyd was the second of seven siblings. He joined the RAF and loved serving his country.

'It tears your life apart' His family's mission since then has been to help ensure the whole scandal of contaminated blood transfusions is fully understood. His sister Sarah Martin, 66, told Sky News that compensation should be paid, but that it can't put right the wrongs: 'I'd rather have my brother, I'd rather not have any money. 'He's gone - they have taken him through reckless blood transfusions. 'It's just heartbreaking it tears your life apart.
