A mum who saved her child’s life before her ex-boyfriend detonated a grenade has been described as ‘heroic’ in a tribute from her family.

Joanne Shaw, 35, was killed after Ryan Kelly, 41, triggered the blast at her front doorstep in Bristol on Sunday morning.

When he turned up at her mother’s house in a furious state, she told her child to go and play on the trampoline just outside the blast radius.
