My father, Mike Arron, who has died aged 94, was a Manchester-based press photographer. He spent most of his career as a freelance covering major news stories, some of them harrowing.
He covered the disasters at Aberfan (1966), Ibrox (1971), Manchester airport (1985) and Lockerbie (1988), as well as the Troubles in Northern Ireland. He rarely spoke of such experiences but was determined to show the world what had happened.
