Paying tribute to him, Mr Matthews’ family said: “It is with deepest regret that the family wish to announce the tragic passing of 'Stan' (Gary Matthews) following a Road Traffic Collision on March 15 in Burry Port.

“Stan was a man in his prime and full of life, still leading in a Punk Band; V2. He was the centre of a very close family and was loved dearly by his family, friends and colleagues.

“The family wish to extend their thanks to their friends and community for their show of support and offer their deepest thanks to the many who were there on the Friday night and tried in vain to send him home to us.
