The sister of Haydn Griffiths who died at sea on a first date has said she will "never stop exploring" after travelling to the arctic circle to spread his ashes.
The 23-year-old disappeared into the River Mersey on what should have been a lovely first date, but Haydn, from Lowton, Wigan, died after being swept up in the waters at New Brighton beach on July 19. His family, who have said he was a strong swimmer, believe a jellyfish sting he suffered earlier in the evening may have affected his ability to swim and stay afloat.
Haydn's body was found four days later on July 23 at Pier Head. The former Lowton High School student was a passionate explorer and loved being in the water and surrounded by nature which is what led to his sister Megan travelling to Svalbard in Norway to scatter some of his ashes.
