One message reads: "Dad, you taught us all to be strong, but sorry we've let you down. We can never be strong enough to accept you have gone. We love you unconditionally."

Another note attached to a bouquet reads: "Grandad, love you lots. Will always think about you and miss you."

Any witnesses or passing drivers with dash-cam footage are asked to contact the police on the non-emergency number 101.

Police are particularly keen to find out how the Vauxhall Vectra was being driven in the run up to the accident and the circumstances leading to it.
