As the death toll rises in Christchurch, New Zealand, news is released of the first identified Brit to fall victim to the anger and savagery of the disaster. Sadly, one of North Yorkshire's talented soldiers has fallen whilst on his own around the world adventure. Sleep tight Instinct, music lives forever.
