A family has paid tribute to a 47-year-old farmer who died following a crash in Gwynedd, north Wales on the weekend.

It is understood Harri Wyn Thomas was driving his quad bike on the Llyn peninsula on Sunday, March 18 at around 7pm.

Mr Thomas then crashed his vehicle, and was flown to hospital in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, but was pronounced dead.

In a tribute, his family said: “This has been a massive shock to all Harri’s family and friends. Harri was a hard worker and has been farming all his life.

“He loved working on the family farm, and was popular with all his friends and family and he will be sadly missed by us all.”

Police are continuing to appeal to anyone who witnessed the collision shortly after 7pm, or anybody who may have seen the quad bike travelling along the B4413, between Llandedrog and Mynytho, prior to the collision to come forward.

Harri’s family has asked for some privacy during this difficult time.

Anyone with information is asked to contact officers at the Western Roads Policing Unit on 101 quoting reference number W034152.
