Tributes have been paid to 53-year-old Adrian Daulby who died during yesterday’s terrorist incident at Heaton Park Congregation Synagogue.
Adrian was one of the brave worshippers attending the synagogue at the time of incident and prevented the attacker from gaining access to the premises.
It is currently believed that Adrian’s injury may sadly have been sustained as a tragic and unforeseen consequence of the urgently required action taken by our officers to bring a vicious attack to an end.
His family are being supported by specialist officers at this time, as they await formal identification.
In a tribute, provided by the family, they said: “Adrian Daulby was a hero and tragically lost his life in the act of courage to save others, he was a beloved brother, loving uncle to his four nieces and one nephew and a cherished cousin.
“The family is shocked by the tragic, sudden death of such a lovely down to earth man. His final act was one of profound courage and he will forever be remembered for his heroic act on Thursday 2 October 2025.”
Adrian’s family have asked for privacy while they grieve for their loss.
