TRIBUTES have been paid to Gary Thorn, of Stogursey, who is being remembered as a 'loving' man, following his death in a motorcycle crash last month.

Mr Thorn, aged 61, died following the single-vehicle collision while riding his motorcycle in Walton, near Street, on Wednesday, May 10.

Mr Thorn's wife Lynn paid tribute to her late husband, saying: "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."

Mr Thorn's family expressed their thanks for 'kind wishes' and have now requested privacy while they grieve.

An Avon and Somerset Police liaison officer was continuing to offer the family support.

Police were called at about 2.20 pm on May 10 to Cockrod, in Walton, where Mr Thorn was declared dead at the scene of the accident.

An appeal for anyone who was in the area of the collision at the time has been renewed by police.

They are asking for anybody who could help their inquiries to call 101 and quote reference 5223108731.
