THE neighbour of a motorbike enthusiast who died after being involved in an accident while watching a race has said "he was the loveliest guy I ever met."

Sheila Thomas, of Tomkinson Drive, Kidderminster, spoke following the death of Dean Jacob, who lived on the same street, after the fatal collision during the Manx TT on Friday.

The security system installer was confirmed dead at the scene, near the 26th milestone on the famous Isle-of-Man course.
