A father-of-three charged with mowing down and injuring fans at Liverpool FC's victory parade is a 'churchgoing family man' who has left his close friends 'stunned'.

Former Royal Marine commando Paul Doyle, 53, will appear in court today accused of seven offences, including dangerous driving and causing grievous bodily harm following Monday's carnage.

Some 79 people were injured, including four children, when the married father-of-three allegedly tailgated an ambulance through a roadblock and ploughed into crowds celebrating the Premier League title win.

The youngest victim was aged just nine and the eldest was 78, police revealed yesterday.

Shocking video footage showed supporters banging on the windows and doors of a Ford Galaxy before it smashed into supporters, catapulting several over the bonnet and trapping others under its wheels.
