 | | Horne, who married twice and leaves behind two children and a grandchild, was given the longest prison sentence for an animal rights activist in November 1997, after being convicted of a two-year firebombing campaign that caused £3m damage. |
 | | Robin Webb, a fellow activist and self-styled ALF spokesman, said: "Barry was killed by the broken promises of this government," referring to the decision not to hold a royal commission into vivisection, although Labour had supported such a move before the 1997 election. |
 | | Horne, who was originally from Liverpool, had garnered convictions for animal rights activism since the late eighties. |
