The leader of an English gypsy travelling group that caused chaos during a family holiday to New Zealand has died.

Relatives in the United Kingdom posted tributes on social media to James Anthony Nolan, the leader of the controversial group that notoriously caused carnage during an extended family holiday in New Zealand in 2019.

The group at the time had claimed to be Irish, a local said, but it was later confirmed that they were English.

Nolan’s sister Lulu paid tribute to him in a social media post, saying his death hadn’t yet sunk in.

‘My big lovely brother Jimmy Nolan as much as we always had argument been there all my life loved him like a big brother best daddy to his big lovely children and best husband to my sister,’ the post read.

In contrast New Zealanders – who clearly haven’t moved on from the chaos he and his family caused in their country – were not grieving over his death. 

‘Good riddance to bad rubbish, karma came a calling, good,’ one person wrote.

‘Hey everyone.. looks like we won’t have to worry about old mate James… Jimmy… Nolan returning to our shores. Karma finally caught up to him,’ said another.

‘Good riddance,’ commented a third.

‘Good riddance,’ one New Zealander commented on a Facebook group post. Another pointed out Nolan and the travelling gypsy group was a reason the Facebook group was created

After Nolan and his family’s headline-grabbing holiday they gained more notoriety after landing back in the UK moaning that they had had a ‘holiday from hell’ and had been ‘tortured and condemned’. 

While in New Zealand, beach-goer Krista Curnow filmed them leaving beer bottles and piles of rubbish on Auckland’s Takapuna Beach in one of a string of high-profile incidents. 

A young boy in the group also threatened to ‘knock the brains out’ of a woman who had filmed them littering on a picturesque Auckland beach while the family were also accused of putting ants and hair in restaurant meals to avoid paying the bill.

Their stint of mayhem across New Zealand led to the group being labelled ‘a*******’ and ‘trash’ by Auckland Mayor Phil Goff. 

A petition to have them removed amassed more than 2,500 signatures.

Nolan along with four others were served with 28-day deportation liability notices by New Zealand’s immigration service before leaving to return to the UK the following month.
