My husband would still be alive if he’d received Post Office compensation

Becky managed to complete her degree and is now a sports coach. She’s also part of the Lost Chances, the group formed to campaign on behalf of the adult children of affected sub-postmasters.

She and her dad had chosen music for her wedding next year, including a “daddy dance” but she lost him just a few weeks later and now the planning has stopped.

“I’m heartbroken he’s not here to walk me down the aisle,” she says.

“He was kind, caring, funny, really into his music, always with the worst Dad jokes. But he was someone you could always turn to.”

Jono died just days before his 34th wedding anniversary at the end of October. Sarah blames the Post Office for everything that’s happened.

“Now we’ve got to fight for what he needed,” she says.

Four days after the BBC approached the DBT for comment, the Armstrongs received what their solicitor described as a significantly improved offer, which they are now considering.

A Post Office spokesperson said: “Postmasters and their families have suffered years of pain. It has taken them too long to clear their names and, in many cases, to receive redress. We are sincerely sorry to hear about Mr Armstrong’s death, and for his and his family’s experiences.”

A government spokesperson said: “We offer our sincere condolences to the family of Jonathan Armstrong. We are acutely aware how pressing the issue of compensation is for so many of the postmasters which is why we are striving to deliver justice as swiftly as possible.”
