Emergency services were called to a two vehicle collision on the B4035 Campden Road near Portobello Crossroads around 4.10pm on Friday (21 April).

Harry Purcell, 17, Matilda 'Tilly' Seccombe, 16, and Frank Wormald, 16, sadly passed away after the collision.

All three were sixth form pupils at Chipping Campden School.

In a statement issued today, Harry's family said: "Our hearts are broken but our love for Harry will live forever.

"He was so kind in every way and carried with him a contagious smile that everyone around him loved so much.

"He will live on in everyone’s hearts and memories forever and never be forgotten."

Tilly's family said: "We are utterly devastated by the loss of our beautiful girl who made us so happy.

"Our hearts go out to all who knew her and will share this terrible pain. Thank you Tilly.

"We are blessed to have had you in our lives."

All the affected families continue to be supported by officers.

Warwickshire Police say due to safety concerns, they ask any floral tributes to be left at the base of the flagpole at Chipping Campden School on Cidermill Lane.
