Tributes have been paid to a "brilliant" Welsh barrister who has died at the age of 61.
Christopher Clee QC was a familiar face in crown courts around south Wales for almost 40 years, and was counsel in some of the most high-profile cases of recent decades including the prosecution of Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins for child sex offences. Mr Clee also sat as a recorder or part-time circuit judge.
Away from the courtroom the barrister loved the American punk rock band The Ramones, and was a committed cricket, football and rugby fan.
