Mr Singh was president of Grays Sikh Gurdawara and a leader of the town's Sikh community who was widely respected across the borough and worked with many other local faith groups.

A tribute was paid this evening by West Thurrock and South Stifford ward Cllr Qaisar Abbas.

He said: "I met him various times in different events and always found him very kind and decent.

"He was a towering figure and pillar of local Sikh community.
