Saracen Yates, the 17-year-old son of Alan John Yates who died in a road accident in 2007, bravely fought back tears as he accepted an award in memory of his late farther.

Chief instructor Wayne Teall 5th Dan, who has been teaching Karate to children and adults for the past 43 years, invited the family to a special presentation evening held at Prattens Sports and Social Club.

He was not a natural but his dedication meant he would always make the grade and he had the spirit to keep training no matter what. He truly earned my honour and respect."
