 Police have named a motorcyclist who died in an accident at Witham on the Hill on Sunday.

61 year old Gary Skellett was a gentle soul with a generous heart who was always ready to help anyone in need, say his family. They say many will remember him from his racing days. Officers are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage of the incident, where a grey Suzuki motorcycle collided with a grey Volvo car at midday last Sunday on the A6121 at the Manthorpe and Witham on the Hill crossroads.
