Mr Holmes had intended to travel in the car in which his mother, father and grandparents were returning home to Sheffield from a family birthday party.

"I nearly got into the Daewoo but in the end I went with my great aunt and uncle because there was not enough room," he said.

Mr Holmes said he could never forgive Noble for what he had done.

Mr Holmes' cousin Heather Rodgers also hit out at Noble.

"He's shown no remorse and has been arrogant and shown no regard for any victims or the victims' families," she said.

Cheryl Allen, whose brother, father-of-three Dennis Royston, 36, also died in the collision, added: "The sentence is not long enough.

"Because of him I haven't got a brother."
