The family of an 82-year-old man who died after he was hit by a vehicle have paid tribute to him.
Patrick Joseph McDonald, who was known as Vinny, was struck by a vehicle at about 9:45am on Friday, October 21, in Church Street Rhyl. He later died in hospital.
His family said he was born in Liverpool and moved to north Wales as a teenager, seeking work. They said he "loved the area so much" that he remained, meeting his wife Lilly, who died in 2004, and raising his children and grandchildren in the area. He latterly met Kath, who was his companion for 16 years. You can get more local news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.

North Wales Police are renewing an appeal for anyone with information about the incident to contact them.
