On 11 August 2007, Sophie Lancaster and her partner were attacked by a gang of teenagers in a park in Lancashire. Instead of fleeing, Sophie went to her partners aid.

The couple were kicked, stamped on and left unconscious for nothing more than looking different.

Sophie later died from her injuries.

Sophie’s mother Sylvia Lancaster speaks from a completely personal perspective, with honesty, about Sophie’s murder, the trial and the work of the Foundation that was established in Sophie’s name.
