Tributes have been paid to a “loving and devoted father” who was killed in a collision at Shatterford, near Kidderminster.

Motorcyclist Richard Anthony Mann, aged 52, from Shrewsbury, died after the Honda bike he was riding was in collision with a Nissan pick-up truck on the A442, near the Kinver and Upper Areley junction, at about 8am on June 16.

He worked in leisure services for Shropshire County Council for 15 years and before that spent 19 years in the army, serving in the Duke of Wellington Regiment.

Mr Mann had three children.

Mr Mann’s partner Lel Williams, who lives in the Worcester area, described him as “one in a million and totally irreplaceable”.
