🌟 In memory of little Preston Davey 🌟
Blackpool Tower is set to shine bright blue in a heartfelt tribute to Preston Davey, a 13-month-old whose tragic story has deeply moved many. This special commemoration, taking place on 27th July, was requested by Preston’s birth mum, Sarah Davey.
Preston’s life was cruelly cut short by his adoptive father, Jamie Varley, who was found guilty of murder and other serious offences. Varley received a whole life order for his brutal actions, while his then partner, John McGowan-Fazakerley, was sentenced to 25 years for his role in the tragedy. The trial revealed harrowing details of the abuse Preston endured during his short life.
People everywhere are invited to remember Preston and stand against such horrendous acts. As the iconic landmark lights up, it will serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of safeguarding children and the impact a community can have in raising awareness.
In a twist of events, the home occupied by Varley and McGowan-Fazakerley shortly after Preston’s death is now up for sale. The listing, which highlights its picturesque views, also frankly informs potential buyers of the concerning history associated with its previous residents.
Join us by lighting a candle or wearing blue on 27th July to keep Preston’s memory alive and to advocate for vulnerable children, ensuring their voices never go unheard.
