Sean Day's mother paid tribute to her son describing him as her "loveable rogue"

The family of a man whose body was found in the River Wye more than a week after he fell in have paid him tribute.

Sean Day, 29, fell into the river near to Castle Green Pavilion in Hereford during the early hours of 29 July.

His body was found on Wednesday. His family said he had the biggest heart.

Mr Day's mother paid tribute on behalf of her family and said: "He touched so many people's hearts and he always had a big beautiful smile."

"He was a loveable rogue but he was my loveable rogue. Sean had the biggest heart and the most gorgeous blue eyes," she said.

"Sean was the life and soul of any party and he loved to rave. It's such a cruel world for him to be taken so young."
