Stanley Hill, a keen charity fundraiser and avid Oxford United supporter, has died aged 80.

Father-of-two Mr Hill, of Evans Lane, Kidlington, served in the Royal Navy during the Second World War on convoy duty and in the D-Day landings.

After leaving the Navy, he moved to Oxford in 1948. He went on to work for Morris Motors and Rover for 40 years.

Mr Hill met his wife Doris in Oxford and the couple were married at St Martin and All Saints Church in High Street in 1950.

He was a member of the Royal British Legion at Yarnton and the Independent Order of Foresters Isis Branch, spending many hours raising money for charity by growing and selling plants at his gate, car boot sales and the Lord Mayor's Parade.

With his wife Doris he was keen to support recycling projects and donated the money to Guide Dogs for the Blind and annually took part in the Barnardos Toddle.

Oxford United secretary Mick Brown attended his funeral. Mr Hill was a supporter of the club for 57 years and a season ticket holder.

Following his death on March 27, he left behind his wife Doris, children Jacky and Russell, four grandchildren and a great-grandson.
