THE family of a motorbike rider who died in a collision on the Wye Valley road on Friday (June 3) have paid tribute to him as “a ray of light in every crowd”.

He was a rock and a beacon of light

in every one’s life around him.

He was a guide through your life’s troubles

and a ray of light in every crowd.
