A flood of tributes have been paid to a caring nightclub director, who was found dead in Norwich.

Police were called to a property above Bished nightclub on Prince of Wales Road on Tuesday evening, after a man in his 30s was found unresponsive. He was later confirmed to have died.

He is known to be Ibish Peri, the owner of venue chain Code Red Promotions, which runs Mercy, Flaunt, Lace and Bished, formerly Rocco's.

On Wednesday, tributes soon began pouring in, with what began as a few bouquets of flowers outside the doors of the venue growing steadily throughout the day, accompanied by cards containing touching messages and balloons.

Social media was full of poignant tributes to a friend and colleague.
