EXCLUSIVE Pictured: British influencer, 26, who plunged to his death from Spain's highest bridge as he tried to snap daredevil Instagram post from 630ft landmark

This is the first picture of the British influencer who plunged to his death while attempting to scale Spain's highest bridge without safety equipment for an Instagram stunt.

Lewis Stevenson, 26, fell from the 630ft Castilla La Mancha bridge on Sunday morning after ignoring his family's pleas to call off the risky climb.

Speaking from his home in Derby, his grandfather Clifford Stevenson, 70, told MailOnline: 'We all tried to talk him out of it. We were always trying to talk him out of doing things but that was the way he was.

'He loved doing it, always went out there believing he'd be alright. He did what he did for his own pleasure. He did not get any money for it, he was an adventurer'.

Tributes to Lewis were led by his heartbroken girlfriend Savannah Parker, who revealed that the last thing he said to her was 'Good night, I love you' the night before his death.

Savannah, 25, an office worker, said Lewis had travelled out to Spain on Friday and was due to come home on Monday.

'We spoke at half eleven and the last thing he said to me was, "Good night, I love you".'

'He messaged me at half five to say, "Good morning" with three kisses. I didn't see it until quarter to eight.

'I thought he'd just be trying to get a sunrise picture. I thought he must have stuck his arm out to get a picture and fell, not that he passed out.

Savannah said she'd gone with him to Malta last September.

'On our last day he persuaded me to go with him into an abandoned building and I went with him but I was so scared because I don't climb or do anything like that.

'I said to him, "I don't know how you do this all the time". I was so scared of making one wrong move and that being it but we did it.

'I was eager to leave because it was abandoned for a reason – it was not safe.

'He was always going off doing stuff. It was hard to keep up. He went to South America for eight months last year. It was what he loved to do.'

Others involved in the high-risk sport of climbing structures without a safety harness expressed their sorrow at Stevenson's death.
