A woman has paid tribute to her "selfless" partner who died in a motorcycle crash in Lincolnshire.

Brian Smith, 62, died when his motorcycle collided with a car on Horncastle Road, Boston, on Monday afternoon.

His partner Tracey said: "Brian was one of the most selfless people who always looked out for others and always helped those he could.

"He had a heart of pure gold."
