Tributes are being paid to a Hereford businessman who has passed away.

Robert Broadfoot set up city jewellers Hereford Gold in the late 1970s.

Announcing his death, Hereford Gold took to social media: "It is with great sadness that we are announcing the Peaceful death of Robert Broadfoot.

He was larger than life, and was much a loved character who created a local business from nothing. He was compassionate and ever willing to help anyone."

The shop in Commerical Road has been closed for today out of deep respect.
