John Stollery's family said 'He will remain in our hearts and in our memory forever'

A social worker from Nottinghamshire has been named as one of the victims of the Tunisia beach shootings.

John Stollery, a 58-year-old from Walesby in the north of the county, was on holiday with his family.

His wife Cheryl said: "John was special, he made a difference and gave his best to others".

Thirty Britons are believed to have been killed in Friday's attack, with four seriously wounded being flown out by the RAF.

Mrs Stollery said: "We, his family, are proud of him and deeply saddened that he was taken from us in such a horrific and tragic way. We still had a long life to live with plans and dreams for our future together.

"We love and miss him terribly and nothing will ever be the same again. He was a super husband and my best friend and a devoted dad to our son.

"He will remain in our hearts and in our memory forever."

Nottinghamshire County Council said it was "immensely saddened by the tragic death".
