A second man has died following a road crash in Moray on New Year's Day.

John Ian Widdowson, 59, died in hospital following the collision between two Volkswagen Polos on the B9089 Roseisle to Kinloss road on January 1.

Daniel Gordon, 24, from Elgin also lost his life in the crash and an 80-year-old woman who was driving the car in which Mr Widdowson was travelling remains in hospital.

Mr Widdowson was the chairman of Piping at Forres, an event which brings pipers from across the globe to Moray.

Joanna Taylor, director of organisers Forres Events, described Mr Widdowson's death as a "terrible shock".

She added: "I have known Ian a long time and am devastated by the news and heartbroken for his family who are still coming to terms with it.

"He will be greatly missed by all who knew him but particularly by myself and all the team at Piping At Forres who had the pleasure to know and work with Ian.

" Our heartfelt sympathies to Fiona and the family."
