Lee, 45, was role model to his son

- BY ADAM ASPINALL

A FATHER who fell to his death at an Oasis show has been described as a role model to his family.

Lee Claydon, 45, is believed to have fallen from the upper tier balcony of Wembley Stadium at Saturday's sold-out concert in front of 100,000 people.

The landscape gardener and dad-of-one, from Bournemouth, died at the scene despite medics battling to save his life as the band finished their gig.

His dad Clive Claydon, 75, said: "He was a lovely bloke, loved to be with his family - a hardworking family man, he loved his kid, looked after them well.

"He had everything going for him. I am so devastated, I have been to the doctor for tablets to get over it."
