A long-term friend of Mr Horide, Peter Boardman, 90, said he and his wife Janet met him and his wife Rosemary at a dance more than 60 years ago.

He expressed concern for the welfare of his friend.

Mr Boardman, 90, said: "We used to go on holiday together for many years, albeit many years ago.

"Brian and I used to go walking and climbing in the mountains while our partners would sunbathe on the beach, they were some of the best years of my life.

"I heard the news a few days ago because I live at Walton-on-the-Naze
 now and I couldn't quite believe it.

"Both me and Janet are worried sick for him and his family and we are praying for a positive outcome."
