'We would like to thank everybody for their support at this difficult time. The police, ambulance staff and hospital staff were brilliant on the night. They did everything that they could.'

Catherine Richards, East Norfolk Sixth Form College principal, where he studied, said: 'Staff and students are shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the death of Jack Southey.

'Jack attended the college from September 2011 to June 2015 and achieved BTECs in IT and Games Design as well as A-level Electronics and A/S Use of Maths.

'Jack is remembered fondly by all those he met as a lovely, polite and hardworking young man and our thoughts are with his family at this very difficult time.'

Floral tributes left at the scene close to the Burgh Road roundabout in Bradwell also speak of his smile and laughter.

The man in his 20s died on Friday following a collision with a car.
