Family friend Nicola Whelan, who has organised a fundraising campaign for Mr Main's family, said she wants him to be remembered as "a hero".

"It's really important for us all that Andrew is remembered as a hero, because he absolutely was one," she said.

"He was fun-loving, carefree and, above all, a great dad, brother and friend.

"We cannot put into words how much he will be missed."

The force has urged anyone who may have witnessed the incident to come forward.
