Many tributes have been paid to the father and son from Shavington, Crewe who were killed while racing at the Isle of Man TT Races on Friday.

As reported on Crewe Nub News, many people across the region were stunned to hear of the tragedy of popular duo Roger Stockton, 56, and his 21-year-old son Bradley.

Roger worked at cargo and freight company Cooper Buckley at their base on the Crewe Gates Industrial Estate. He has been with them for 20 years and in a social media post a spokesperson for the company said: "Our dear work colleague and friend Roger Stockton and his son Brad have sadly lost their lives participating in a sport they both loved, Sidecar racing at the Isle of Man TT. Roger has been a part of the Cooper Buckley family for over 20 years and he'll leave a huge hole in the company.

"On behalf of everyone at Cooper Buckley we pass on our most sincere condolences to Roger and Brad's family and also to Roger's partner Mel. Rest in peace Roger & Brad."

Brad worked at ABP Motorsport on Newcastle Road, Shavington, and staff there have described themselves as 'devastated' by the news.

A post on the company's website says: "The whole ABP family are absolutely devastated to share the news that 'our Brad' has sadly lost his life.

"Brad was just 21 and was taking part in a sport that he loved - he was funny, brave, annoying, loved, brilliant, handsome and had his whole life ahead of him.

"He left us alongside his father - pursuing a dream, a passion that brought both glory and danger.
