“Samuel was a happy-go-lucky boy who was always happy and friendly. This picture is how we will remember him, always with a smile on his face.

“Samuel was the youngest of four siblings and words can’t express how much he will be missed by his parents Heather and Lenny, his brother David and twin sisters Samantha and Kirsty, his nephew Reuben and niece Georgie.

“We would like to thank the incredible number of people who have sent us messages of sympathy – your kind words mean so much and are a reminder of just how popular and well-loved Samuel was.
