Lancashire Police have paid tribute to 9-year-old Jordan Banks following his tragic death on Tuesday 11th May.

Jordan was struck by lightning on playing fields off School Road at around 1705 hours. Despite the best efforts of the emergency services, Jordan died a short while later in hospital. 

Back in January, when the country was in lockdown, young Jordan was secretly leaving sweets and chocolates on police cars in Blackpool to cheer up police officers. 

Lancashire Police have shared a picture of Jordan, taken in January, standing next to one of their marked response units after he had left some treats on the windscreen of the car. 

Jordan also raised money for mental health charities and counselling in his local community. 

Jordan left treats on police cars to cheer officers up during the most recent lockdown.

Paying tribute to Jordan, a spokesperson for Lancashire Police said:

‘Jordan’s actions touched the hearts of our officers, and we will always remember his kindness.

‘Our thoughts remain with Jordan’s family and everyone affected by this terrible tragedy. A true angel taken too soon, may he rest in peace’.

WE NEED YOUR HELP. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative 'anti' bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.
