TWO sons have paid tribute to their parents after they died in a crash.
Mike and Shirley Savings, from Lichfield, were riding a Harley Davidson trike motorcycle when it was involved in a three-vehicle crash on the A1 at Tuxford in Nottinghamshire at 3.30pm on Monday (20th July).
The incident also involved a Vauxhall Grandland and a Scania flatbed lorry.
Despite the best efforts of paramedics, 66-year-old Mike and 64-year-old Shirley died at the scene.
The couple had been riding around Scotland celebrating their 41st wedding anniversary by visiting a number of locations, including the Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge, to pay respects to Mike's late father, who fought at D-Day.
Paying tribute to the couple, their sons said:
"As those who were following their journey will know, they had spent the last week on an anniversary tour of Scotland on their trike and were on the final leg of their trip on the A1 in Nottinghamshire when they were involved in a road traffic incident which they did not survive.
"They first met at a nightclub and after over 40 years of marriage and two children their love of life and each other was still strong.
"Their unique energies and perspectives will be cherished and missed greatly by all who knew them."
Nottinghamshire Police say an investigation into the crash is ongoing.
