The family of a "much loved" 23-year-old father killed by a falling tree in Storm Eunice have released a touching tribute.

Emergency services were called to Old Odiham Road in Alton at around 11.45am on Friday, February 18 to reports of a tree having landed on a white Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

Jack Bristow was a passenger in the vehicle when the tree hit. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Paying tribute to him today, his family said: "We write this with broken hearts. The loss of a son is something you could ever be prepared for.

"Jack was a much loved son, grandson, boyfriend and father. Everyone knew Jack and everyone loved Jack, how could you not! He was a joker, loved to have a laugh and a good time. He lived life to the full, and had done and been through so much in his young 23 years.

"We are absolutely devastated and there are not enough words to describe our pain. But he lives on through his son Harvey. Rest in Peace Jack, we love you more than you will ever know."

Mr Bristow lived in Hobbyhorse Lane, Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire.

Officers continue to investigate the exact circumstances of the incident.
