Daley’s schoolfriend and fellow bike enthusiast Alan Honnor said he moved from Murton to Stockton four years ago to live with his wife Natalie. The couple have a daughter called Daisy.

His death has left his family devastated.

Alan, 28, said: “He was a character and he would do anything for everyone, he would always be there to help you.

“I found out what had happened when my dad phoned me and I just didn’t know what to say.

“He loved life, he was the best, and that’s how I’ll remember him.”
