Manchester Synagogue Attack Hero Adrian Daulby Honored at Funeral Amid Ongoing Hospitalizations

Adrian Daulby, a 53-year-old worshipper at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester, was honored as a hero following his death during a terror attack on Yom Kippur. When attacker Jihad Al-Shamie attempted to storm the synagogue, Daulby courageously leapt from his traditional family seat to barricade the doors, preventing the assailant from entering and protecting fellow worshippers. Tragically, Daulby was accidentally shot by police responding to the incident and died alongside Melvin Cravitz, 66. At his funeral, Rabbi Daniel Walker described Daulby as a "quiet man" who became a "tremendously strong hero," emphasizing his selflessness and bravery in facing danger to save lives. Mourners, including family and community members, celebrated his legacy, highlighting his kindness and the profound impact of his actions during the attack. The attack left several others seriously injured and remains under investigation by Counter Terrorism Policing North West.
