The family of a man who died after being hit by a car said they were experiencing a "desperately difficult time".

Police believe Jack Hickmott, who was in his 60s, was struck by a blue Ford Fusion in Tongwell Street in Milton Keynes on 19 February.

In a statement, his family thanked "all those who have kindly supported him" over the years and said a private service would be arranged.

Thames Valley Police previously appealed for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.
