A MEMORIAL 'car cruise' has been held in memory of Dale Williams, who died in a car accident last year, aged 20.

Organised by his close friend Lewis Elliot, the cruise took place on Sunday, August 28th, one day after the anniversary of his death.

A similar tribute took place in September 2010, a week after Dale, of Hendre Glyn Farm in Llanover, died.

Starting in Hereford and ending Abergavenny, over 80 cars together with fifteen Toyota Starlets turned out for Dale, who was a Starlet owner himself.

Dale's parents and his brother, Kyle, expressed their thanks to everybody who took part in the tribute.

In a statement, they also told of their gratitude for the support they have received from family and friends in the difficult twelve months since the accident.

Dale's family said that they were especially grateful for "the kindness, love, messages and flowers from Dale's many good friends. He will never be forgotten."
