A beloved husband and wife were tragically killed after they stepped into the path of an oncoming car whilst walking arm in arm, an inquest heard.
John Mann, 91, who known fondly by family as 'Jackie,' and his wife Joan, 89, died within two weeks of each other following the horror collision in Wigan on October 18 last year.
The couple had been on their way to their local church just yards away from their house on Swan Lane in Hindley Green when they both stepped into the road 'linking arms.'

An inquest held at Bolton Coroner's Court heard that shortly after they did, Mr Mann was hit by a black BMW 1 series being driven by a woman in her early 20s named Susan Yates.
The court was told that the impact of the collision caused Mr Mann to involuntarily strike his wife - which led to them both being admitted to Salford Royal Hospital with catastrophic injuries.
Mr Mann died three days after the crash on October 21, with Mrs Mann succumbing to her injuries on November 1. Both were found to have died as a result of head and chest injuries.
Police initially arrested Ms Yates at the scene, after she failed a roadside drug test. But she was released with no further action taken after a blood sample showed she was under the legal drug drive limit.
An investigation carried out by Greater Manchester Police's Serious Collision Unit concluded that their evidence pointed to the couple's deaths being the result of a 'tragic accident.'
Ms Yates told the hearing she had purchased the BMW vehicle a month earlier for her birthday, and on the evening of October 18 last year she had been driving back from the Leigh area with her cousin.
