The family of a 20-year-old man have paid tribute to their son who died after crashing into a lamppost in Ormskirk.

Joshua Daly, from Liverpool, died after crashing the Yamaha bike at the Four Lane Ends roundabout on Friday (June 18) at 12.15pm.

In a tribute, his family said: “As a mother and father we couldn’t have wished for a better son or big brother to his sister Francesca. We are beyond proud of the young man he became, achieving more in his 20 years than most do in a lifetime.

“Josh’s life was full of fun, love and laughter. He dedicated his life to various groups and charities, always putting others first and always with a smile on his face.

“Josh was at his happiest walking for miles and miles and trekking up mountains and camping - taking in the beauty around him and being under the stars.

“Josh’s other loves were motorbikes, fast cars, John Lennon and The Beatles. Being an old man at heart, Josh enjoyed a good whiskey and a cigar and he loved Only Fools and Horses. He was always saying ‘mange tout, mange tout’.

“His other love was Liverpool Football Club. He would always be shouting at the TV when they played a match.

“His friends and family were the loves of his life. He loved riding his motorbike in the sunshine and with his biker family, which centred around his job at the Scotch Piper Inn, Lydiate. Josh considered that to be his second home.

“Josh was our ray of sunshine, forever young, forever loved and forever missed. Keira, Bobby, Francesca and family.”

Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses and are asking for anyone who saw a Yamaha YBR 125CC with ‘L’ plates on it, in the lead up to the incident or witnessed what happened to come forward.
