"Our lives will never be the same without you, you had your whole life ahead of you and now it’s been snatched away in the most horrific way.

"We all miss you so terribly much, our darling boy. It still doesn’t seem real, feels like we’re in a bad nightmare we can’t wake up from.

"Now Jack, go and rest your head and sleep tight. Now, forever and always. Goodnight darling boy.”

Jack's Dad, said: "I love you Jack, you will always be my little boy. I thought about you every day - I’ll never stop loving you. I love you more than you’ll ever know."
