More than £9,000 has been raised on fundraiser sites for a father who was killed during Storm Eunice when a tree fell on his truck.

23-year old Jack Bristow from Sutton Courtenay was killed whilst he was working to clear trees in Hampshire during the height of the storm.

He was pronounced dead at the scene around midday, while the driver, also a man in his 20s, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Two GoFundMe pages have been set up by friends, family and work colleagues to help fund the funeral for the former St Birinus School pupil.
