Loving tributes have been left at the spot where a 10-year-old boy died after being involved in a collision with a lorry.
Kastytis Dambrauskas was riding his bike to school when the incident happened on Weasenham Lane, Wisbech, at about 8.30am on Monday, July 16.
A fence at the scene has been covered in cuddly toys and messages for the youngster.
'Love you to the moon and back,' one reads. Another says: 'Taken too soon.'
After the crash, his family said in a statement issued via Cambridgeshire police: 'Words cannot express the devastation we are feeling following the loss of Kastytis.
'He was a very much loved son, brother, nephew and grandson. He will be sorely missed by all.
'He was a keen swimmer and loved being in the water. If he wasn't swimming he was listening to music.'
