Brides father dies on Budapest stag weekend

A grieving bride-to-be has postponed her wedding after her father died on her fiancé's stag weekend.
Colin Byham (49) of Acton Square, Sudbury, was on his way back from Budapest with future son-in-law, Sudbury-based police officer Scott Lee-Amies, when he died on the flight back to Stansted Airport on Sunday.
Daughter Emily, a station clerk at Sudbury Police Station, was due to marry Scott this Saturday at Long Melford's Bull Hotel but the couple have now postponed their special day.

Emily (24) said: "We are devastated. Dad was a popular man in town and knew so many people because he'd been local all his life. He was born in Melford Road.
"He got on with people whatever their age and was the life and soul of the party."
Close friend Ian Witt said Mr Byham would be greatly missed.
"He was a very funny guy and had been local to Sudbury all his life.
"He knew a lot of people and will be sorely missed by everyone. I'd known him for 25 years. It's very sad."

Another friend Geoffrey McGregor, who has known Mr Byham for almost 15 years, this week paid tribute to him.
"He loved Sudbury and was very proud of this town," said Mr McGregor who runs Napier Antiques in Church Street, Sudbury.
He added: "Colin was a real local character and an all-round fun guy. He was very well-known and was very sociable."
Mr McGregor said Mr Byham, who also leaves another daughter, Sarah (19), was a prominent member of the Sudbury Institute Club in Station Road.
He was heavily involved in this year's club beer festival, which starts a week tomorrow.
"Colin was very much a part of the organisation of the beer festival and put a lot of effort into it.

"He was very much looking forward to the launch of the event.
Mr Byham was a former instructor at the Colchester Institute, teaching motor trade skills to students.
An inquest will be held into Mr Byham's death and funeral details have not yet been confirmed by the family.
