The wife of a man who died in a two-car crash said he was a loving and devoted husband.

His wife said in her tribute to Mr Neville, known to friends and family as "Nevdog", that "our hearts are broken and we all miss him terribly".

"He was a loving and devoted husband, a thoughtful brother and son and an amazing and caring father to Morgan and Ruby, his ‘Billy Wizz’ and ‘Shorty Pants’," she added.

"His love of motocross and being a part of the ‘loyals’ raving community kept him young at heart," she said.

“He left a lasting impression on anyone he met and will live in everyone’s hearts forever.

"I love you more, the end, I win - your Mrs Nevdog."

A Volkswagen Passat and a Nissan Almera were involved in the crash and both vehicles' drivers died at the scene, police said.
