A minute's silence has taken place in memory of a rugby coach from Leicestershire who died whilst swimming in the sea on holiday in France.

Robert Walton from Desford broke his spine after he was struck by a giant wave.

The silence took place at the start of the Rugby Lions rugby club's first home game of the season, where he was head coach.
