Former Royal Marines Commando Paul Doyle was well-liked by his neighbours and is said to have stopped for chats while walking his dog near his home in the Croxteth area of Liverpool.

Doyle was believed to have shunned drugs and alcohol, and was heavily into running and cycling.

In the quiet cul-de-sac where Doyle moved in with his wife Alison, a local teacher, and three sons about 10 years ago, residents were mystified at how a "very good neighbour" had come to cause such carnage on 26 May.

Those injured in the parade attack ranged from six months to 78 years old, police have said.

Doyle's car struck the pram of a baby boy who was being pushed by his parents.

The infant was not seriously hurt, however, despite the pram being sent spinning yards down the road.

A paramedic who was "sent flying" by Paul Doyle's car has described how "adrenaline took over".

James Vernon said he did not even hear the Ford Galaxy Titanium coming before he was struck from behind on 26 May.

Mr Vernon, who had been deployed as a cycle paramedic with the North West Ambulance Service during the parade, was on his way to help a patient having a heart attack when he was struck by Doyle's car.

Despite being knocked down, he was able to shelter children in the back of an ambulance and rush to the aid of many of Doyle's 134 victims.

Huge crowds of Liverpool fans had lined the 10-mile trophy parade route.

The Reds' Premier League victory parade had taken more than three-and-a-half hours to crawl through the city's streets.

Superstar DJ Calvin Harris, a friend of Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk, had blasted his tunes from the players' open-top bus as red smoke from flares filled the air.

The celebratory mood changed in an instant, however, when Paul Doyle drove his car into the crowd.

Paul Doyle was in tears at a number of pre-trial hearings when he appeared over videolink from prison.

The judge and Recorder of Liverpool, Andrew Menary KC, told him it was "inevitable" he would be facing a custodial sentence "of some length".

Sarah Hammond, chief crown prosecutor for the Mersey-Cheshire region, said Doyle had finally accepted that he intentionally drove into crowds of innocent people.

"Dashcam footage from Doyle's vehicle shows that as he approached Dale Street and Water Street, he became increasingly agitated by the crowds," she said.

"Rather than wait for them to pass, he deliberately drove at them, forcing his way through."

By the time somebody had started to film Paul Doyle's car on Water Street in Liverpool city centre, a few people in the crowd were trying to stop him from getting any further.

At least one man threw a punch at the car, and another kicked it with enough force to dislodge its rear windscreen wiper.

Hundreds of thousands of people were in Liverpool city centre on Bank Holiday Monday in late May to celebrate Arne Slot's side winning the Premier League title.

Video footage of a car being driven into the large crowd on Water Street soon emerged on social media, allowing police to piece together what had happened.

Good morning from Liverpool Crown Court.

We are told that Paul Doyle's sentencing hearing is going to take some time.

The prosecution opening is expected to take a number of hours - this is partly because the facts of the case did not get outlined during the trial due to Doyle's surprise change of plea.

CCTV and dashboard camera footage will be played in court and we are also expected to hear a summary of dozens of victim impact statements.

As it stands, the hearing is due to last into Tuesday, when Judge Andrew Menary KC will tell Doyle how long he can expect to serve behind bars.

More than 130 people reported injuries after Paul Doyle drove his Ford Galaxy Titanium into the crowds.

The father-of-three admitted charges which related to 29 people aged between six months and 77 years.

Det Ch Insp John Fitzgerald of Merseyside Police said it was only "by sheer luck that nobody was killed because of Doyle's reckless actions".

We will be bringing you full coverage of Doyle's sentencing hearing, which is expected to last up to two days.
