All three died in the collision. On Monday, the family of Stephen and Katherine Burch called for 'stronger checks' on elderly motorists.

They also extended their sympathies to the Burch family, saying the crash will "always weigh heavily on us". The family said: 'Humphrey Pickering was a lifelong learner who loved travel, learning new languages and experiencing new cultures. "His career centred around libraries, learning, and bringing knowledge to communities throughout Europe and as far away as the South Pacific. He was a valued colleague, boss, friend, and mentor to many.

He was also a keen gardener, tending his trees, flowers, and vegetables throughout the year. 'Our family want to thank the emergency services and members of the public who assisted at the scene, and to those who provided care and support to our mother, especially the staff at the Bulkley Hotel, who kept her safe until we were able to come to Beaumaris to be by her side. 'We also want to thank those who have worked tirelessly since, to uncover the events of that day and provide an explanation of what happened on that fateful day. "These answers will help us move forward in our grief and are a small step towards our family accepting this tragic accident and the devastating loss to both our family and the family of Revd Stephen and Katherine Burch.
