Tributes paid to man killed near Peel

Fundraiser raises nearly £9,000 for Nesta Hasleden 

The family of a man killed near Peel last week say they're 'so grateful' for all the support they've had since his death.

Nesta Hasleden was 21 when he died following a road traffic collision crash near QE2 High School on Wednesday (7 August).

An online fundraiser has raised almost £9,000 for his family.

In a post, on Facebook, his parents say they're broken and numb but want to thank everyone who's sent flowers, cards, kind words or donated to the fundraiser.

They add: "He touched so many lives and in return we have seen so much support.

"We have felt the love. Hopefully those people who spent even a minute with him will forever remember our boy".
