The family of a cyclist said they were "absolutely heartbroken" after she was fatally injured in a collision.

Sally Budden, 73, was involved in a crash on the B1106 in Brandon, Suffolk, shortly before 10:50 BST on 18 October.

"Mum brought fun, kindness and laughter to everyone who knew her, and we will all miss her so much," her family said in a statement.
