Logan Carter died after falling at Wharton Recreation Ground in Ledward Street, Winsford, shortly after 18:00 BST on Friday, Cheshire Police said.

Emergency services gave him treatment but he died at the scene.

His relatives said he was "much-loved" and "made every day worth living".

"He had an infectious personality and a beautiful smile," they continued.

"Everyone wanted to be where Logan was. He was a little boy who was so full of life and wanted to make everyone laugh."
