Two people who died when the car they were travelling in hit a tree in a cemetery have been named by police.

Marcus Ball and Zoe Simpson, both 33, died after the silver Volkswagen Polo they were in crashed in the grounds of Scholemoor Cemetery, off Birks Fold, at about 05:00 GMT on Thursday.

In a statement, Mr Ball's family said he was "the most lovely caring man, who lit up the room when he walked in".

Officers asked anyone who saw what happened, saw the vehicle in the area immediately prior to the crash, or who had footage which might be useful to the investigation, to get in touch.
