The family of tragic teenager Harry Dunn have released one of their most treasured photographs of their son, seen holding a Christmas present when he was aged three.
The touching picture of Harry proudly clutching his new Super Car Power Machine, with a pile of unopened gifts behind him, comes as his parents today made a plea for donations in order to launch a campaign in the US calling for the suspect’s extradition over his death.
Charlotte Charles, 44, and Tim Dunn, 50, have led a high-profile campaign for justice after Anne Sacoolas returned to America after the car she was driving collided with their 19-year-old son’s motorbike on August 27.
Since then, they have received more than £112,000 from members of the public which they have used to fight various legal battles.
After the Crown Prosecution Service charged 42-year-old US citizen Sacoolas with causing death by dangerous driving on Friday, the teenager’s family have said donations are now ‘more important than ever’.

Tim Dunn, 50, was also overcome with emotion when heard the news that Sacoolas is to be charged with causing death by dangerous driving
‘It is more important now than ever that you do.
‘The very rule of law is at stake and Team Harry are now launching a campaign in the USA itself to have Anne Sacoolas extradited to the UK and to take the message to all our American friends and cousins who we believe do not stand shoulder to shoulder with their government who are harbouring Anne Sacoolas.’
The family have urged anyone wishing to donate to their cause to contribute via the crowdfunding page on Go Fund Me.
