FAMILY and friends gathered and laid floral tributes in memory of accident victim teenager Daniel Galea.

Flowers and dedications were put on Daniel's grave on Sunday, a year after he died when his motorbike was in collision with a van.

Family and friends travelled to his graveside in Slough Cemetery, where he is buried alongside his grandparents.

His mother Moyra, of Kings Road, Chalfont St Giles, said: 'There are a lot of people who knew and liked Daniel and are still cut up over what happened.

'This was a way of remembering him; he was a smashing person and that is probably why his friends still keep in touch with us.'

Daniel was a member of Hillingdon Motocross Club, and won many motocross trophies as a schoolboy.

He died in September last year when his Aprilia 250cc motorbike and a Maestro van crashed at the junction of Dean Way and The Lagger, in Chalfont St Giles.

Mrs Galea, said: 'We have spent the last year remembering him and every day I am reminded of what happened because I drive past the place where he died.

'At least we know that he is near two of his grandparents who can look after him.'

Flowers and cards were also left at the scene of the accident and at a war memorial as a tribute to Daniel and his great-uncle, who died in the Second World War around the same date.
