The mum of Bournemouth teenager Kyle Rees - who died after being hit on the side of the head with a cricket ball - says his family's lives will 'always be emptier' without him.

Tanya Cooper's paid tribute to the 16 year old, who was fatally injured in the incident at Portchester School a week ago - saying 'his energy, laughter, jokes, dancing and his smiles,kisses and cuddles will be eternally missed by us all'.

She's also thanked all those who tried to save his life, when he was taken to Bournemouth and then Southampton hospitals.

Police are continuing to investigate - with another 16 year old on bail after his arrest on suspicion of manslaughter.
