The family of a teenager killed in a crash in Tameside earlier this month have paid tribute to the 'loving' youngster.

17 year-old Stuart McLeod from the Mossley area died in hospital after his motorbike crashed with a parked car on Manchester Road on Saturday 16th September.

Stuart's heartbroken family have paid tribute to their 'beautiful boy'.

They said: “Stuart was a whirlwind from the moment he was born until he began his eternal journey.

“He was a loving, caring giant of a character who would look after all those he loved.

“His family and friends will deeply miss his infectious smile and ability to make everyone around him laugh like the class clown he was.

“Bright and so intelligent, he had the ability to turn the most basic of conversations into full-on debate.

“With every waking moment we miss you, Stuart, and will always love you like you are right by our sides.

“RIP beautiful boy. Fly high with the angels our darling son, brother, and friend. We are heartbroken forever.”

An investigation into the crash is ongoing and anyone who saw what happened is being asked to come forward.
