The family of a 12-year-old boy killed in a crash in Lincolnshire say he was "loved by everyone".

Ted Vines died when the Ford Galaxy he was a passenger in collided with another car near Bardney on Sunday.

His family said he had been on his way to Branston to play football for Alford Under-12s at the time of the crash.

In a statement they said: "Ted was loved by everyone - he was happy, fun and brilliant and had so many people who loved him."

"Everywhere he went, Ted made friends. He was a special part of the community for everyone," they added.

Glen Thompson, head teacher at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar in Alford, where Ted was a pupil, said: "This is of course a very sad time for the entire school community, above all our thoughts are with the family at this time."
