A fund to raise money for an air ambulance has been inundated with donations since the death of Banbury company boss Graham Lees.

Mr Lees, 48, was taking part in a charity cycle ride from John O'Groats to Land's End when he died in a collision involving two cars near Taunton.

Mr Lees, managing director of Cotswold Lifts, based in Thorpe Park, was 150 miles short of completing his 960 mile trip to raise money for the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance.

He was hoping to raise £10,000 for the charity. So far, £12,835 has been donated.
