Mr Reynolds' friend Raymond Bailey, who was also at the ceremony, said: "We tried to revive him but to no avail. He collapsed without warning. He just fell down without a sound."
He told the court that he dialled 999 before reversing back up the motorway to a van and police car parked some meters behind him to the spot where Mr Bailey was laying.
A struggle followed and Andrew worked tirelessly and bravely to detain both young males, during which chunks of flesh were bitten from his hand and wrist by one of the youths. The other tried to gouge out one of Andrew's eyes but this did not deter him from calling for help whilst also keeping hold of the two youths.
I have been ringing New Scotland Yard since the confiscation of my equipment in order to talk to you. The Special Branch receptionist told me that you did not want to talk to me.
I am therefore writing on here to let you know that my friend whose computer you confiscated wishes to fly to London next week in order to reclaim her computer. She will call at New Scotland Yard with the receipts to prove ownership, accompanied by a French journalist as a witness. She needs her computer urgently for her work. It would be greatly appreciated if you could save her the trip (and probable confrontation) by agreeing to return this computer to France (undamaged) at the earliest possibility.
