The father of Harry Dunn has claimed he's being "ignored" by Dominic Raab after being left outside an event where the foreign secretary was speaking to local voters.

Tim Dunn, whose 19-year-old son died in a crash outside RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire in August, was unable to enter a hustings event in Mr Raab's Esher and Walton constituency on Monday night.

This led to the foreign secretary being heckled inside the event and then booed and branded a "coward" as he left East Moseley Methodist Church in an official car.

Harry Dunn's family are taking legal action against Mr Raab following a row over diplomatic immunity granted to Anne Sacoolas, whose husband is thought to be a US intelligence officer.

Ms Sacoolas is accused of driving the car that collided with Harry Dunn's motorbike in the fatal crash.

The Foreign Office has previously said it would oppose the family's legal action and invited them to drop the challenge.

They have also warned they will seek court costs if the family pursue and fail with their action.

Speaking to Sky News after the hustings event in the foreign secretary's constituency, Tim Dunn said: "We thought we'd come to Mr Raab and ask him some questions about how things are moving on.

"I tried to speak to him a couple of times but he wouldn't speak to me at the start and then he just ignored me as he left."

Tim Dunn claimed his family have "no way" of contacting Mr Raab's team, adding: "He's saying they're 'trying to clear the path for justice to happen'.

"Can he just come and tell us what path he's trying to clear? Because he's not speaking to us and as a family we should know what is going on. We're just being kept in the dark."

Whitehall sources stressed the family do have Mr Raab's contact details and have met with the foreign secretary, whose "door is always open" to them.

Mr Raab is understood not to have been aware the family decided to attend Monday night's "packed-out" hustings event.

Harry Dunn's family and other supporters were kept outside of the venue, and many attendees were reportedly left without a seat.

A member of staff at the church said the decision was related to fire safety.

Signs calling for Harry Dunn's family and friends to be allowed to enter were held up against the church door, which was monitored by staff.

There were chants of "let us in" with more than 50 people outside.

Last week, Mr Raab defended the Foreign Office's decision to pursue legal costs in opposing the family's challenge, despite admitting it "pains" him.

He told Sky News: "It pains me because I want to give them the solace of justice in this case.

"But we also need to protect the taxpayers' money and the legal position that we set out, which is the correct one.

"So it's very difficult, but that's the position that we're in."

Sky News understands it is usual government practice to seek costs in legal challenges of this type.

A crowdfunding campaign by Mr Dunn's family, on website GoFundMe, has raised more than £90,000 of its £100,000 target since being created on 1 October.
