The family of a "universally loved" man who died after an assault has paid tribute to him.
Neil McGibbon, a plumber in his 50s, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries after the assault near the King's Head pub in Loddon on Friday evening.
He remained in hospital where he died on Monday.
Paying tribute to him, his family said: "Neil was a beloved son, brother, husband, father and friend.
"He was a proud Scotsman and Celtic fan who played a hugely influential role in his son’s life, who shared his father’s love of football and golf.
"He had an extraordinarily large circle of friends and family in England, Scotland and overseas, and was universally loved by all.
"Neil was a kind, happy, and selfless man, who always did everything he could to help others and lived his life to the fullest.
"We are heartbroken by his loss and ask that his and his family’s privacy be respected at this difficult time.
"Should anyone possess any information that may assist the police in their investigation, we urge them to come forward."
Floral tributes have been left by those who knew Mr McGibbon at the scene of the assault.
It is said Mr McGibbon had been assisting the landlord, Phillip Taylor, along with other regular drinkers, in removing a group of men from the pub's smoking area.
Five men in their 20s were arrested on the night of the assault on suspicion of assault causing grievous bodily harm and questioned at Wymondham police station.
They were released on bail to appear at the station on February 7.
Officers arrested a sixth suspect, a man in his 50s, on Sunday and he was also questioned in Wymondham.
He has been released on bail to appear at the station on February 5.
