Stanley Riley was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer around five years ago, and an operation was successful in removing the cancer. However in November 2021, the cancer had returned and he was given a 12 month terminal diagnosis.

The 73-year-old died on July 15 with his family paying tribute to "the nicest man anyone could ever meet".
