THE family of a man left in a ‘waking coma’ after a racist attack that shocked the nation 31 years ago hosted his 50th birthday party this weekend.

The community in St Pauls and Easton came together to celebrate the landmark birthday of Marlon Thomas, pictured inset as a teenager, with a host of DJs and a sound system.

The event took place on Saturday at the Rose Green Centre in Whitehall. Ahead of the event Marlon’s family said they were ‘happy and excited’ to announce the birthday celebrations for Marlon, who was just 18 when he was left paralysed by the attack in 1994.
