A man who plunged to his death over a cliff edge has been named as Darren Drummond.

The 31-year-old, from Southfield Crescent, Norton, Stockton, lost control of a kite buggy he was riding as it gathered speed down a slope above a sheer, 150ft drop at Carlton Bank, near Stokesley.

The incident happened on Monday lunchtime as horrified holidaymakers looked on helplessly.

An inquest into Mr Drummond's death will be opened and adjourned today.
