Lasting tribute to sidecar racer as 'Dwight's Park' is opened 

Tradesmen who worked with an Australian TT racer who died earlier this year have paid tribute to him on a site where they used to work.

Sidecar racer Dwight Beare died during the first Sidecar Race on June 4th after a crash at the 16th milestone - he suffered head and neck injuries.

The 27-year-old, who lived in Onchan, was a joiner and had been working on the Hartford Homes site at Cronk Cullyn in Colby.
 
His colleagues have decided to install a memorial bench at the development - the entire play area at the centre of the site has also been named 'Dwight's Park' in his honour.
