The family of Lee Starr, who was fatally assaulted at Foxhill motocross near Wanborough on 22 August, have paid tribute to him.

Mr Starr, 38, from Coleby, Lincolnshire, was taken to hospital following the assault but died from his injuries.

In a moving statement, the family said: "Words cannot possibly even begin to convey the sense of shock and loss we feel.

"Lee was the best dad, husband, grandad, son and friend and was devoted to his family.

"Lee had loads of friends and he was loved by everybody; his friends would say ‘Everybody needs a little bit of Lee Starr in their life’. And they did. Lee was wise and always knew how to make things right.

"He was kind and soft, and he was my calm to my chaos. He brought light and joy to anyone who met him and now life will never be the same without him.

"Lee will live on through his three children and granddaughter and the many, many happy memories that have been shared with us."

The family would like to ask for privacy at this devastating time for them.
