The family of 61-year-old Gary Thorn from Stogursey have paid tribute to him as a 'loving husband, son, dad and grampy'.

The motorcyclist was involved in a one-vehicle crash in Walton - near Street - on the 10th of May.

In tribute, Gary's wife Lynn, said: "We are all heartbroken to lose such a loving husband, son, dad and grampy.

"He was such a funny character and always made me smile.

"He will be greatly missed by all who knew him."

The family have thanked everyone for their kind wishes and now are requesting privacy while they grieve.
