THE daughter of a Co Antrim man whose son was injured in the Kegworth air disaster has called on Boris Johnson to resign after her father was buried without a wake or Requiem Mass.
Toome woman Yvonne McCoy spoke out amid ongoing claims that Mr Johnston and his staff broke coronavirus restrictions numerous times since the pandemic broke.
Senior civil servant Sue Gray is currently carrying out an inquiry into a series of alleged parties held during lockdown in Downing Street and Whitehall.
Ms McCoy's father Idris McCoy (78) died in May 2020 after losing a battle with cancer.
His son Stephen uses a wheelchair after being seriously injured in the 1989 air accident, when aged 16.
A former boxing champion, Mr McCoy’s injuries were so bad he did not regain consciousness for 18 months and spent three years in hospital.
Mr McCoy has been cared for at home by his loving family for the past three decades.
Last year he was awarded the British Empire Medal for services to the community and charity.
Last night his dedicated sister Yvonne called on Mr Johnson to step down.
"It has made us feel like second class citizens," she said.
"Daddy's friends had to say goodbye to him through the window."
Mr McCoy was well known in the Toome area and the fishing community around Lough Neagh.
She said that in accordance with restrictions that only close family was in attendance when he taken straight to a local graveyard and buried without a Requiem Mass.
"Daddy's two sisters never even got to the graveside," she said.
"The decent thing to do would be to resign, he can't be trusted.
"It's one rule for us and the next rule for people in power."
Ms McCoy also referred to the funeral of Belfast republican Bobby Storey in June 2020, which was attended by large numbers of people and drew criticism for Sinn Féin.
"Look at the Bobby Storey funeral, Michelle O'Neill and Mary Lou McDonald were at it," she said.
"Law makers can do whatever they want."
Ms O'Neill and Ms McDonald later apologised for any hurt caused to grieving families after large crowds gathered for Mr Storey's funeral.
Downing Street was contacted.
