Dozens of flowers, messages and tributes have been left at the scene close to where two teenage boys were killed on a railway line last week.
Joshua Myers, 16, and another 16-year-old boy, who has been named in the tributes as Jordan, were found on the tracks at Poynton rail station in Cheshire at 22:00 BST on Thursday.
Both boys were pronounced dead at the scene and police said the deaths were not being treated as suspicious.
Among the many messages left outside the station, one from Joshua's mother read: "You will never know how much I loved you. You were the best son. My world is broken and my heart."
It continued: "I feel so empty without you. I will always be with you. Josh, I love you forever."

MP for Macclesfield Tim Roca left a note outside the train station
In another message, Joshua's father wrote: "There have been many things I've been wanting to say to you lately, about finishing school, doing your GCSEs, life and your future.
"I was waiting for the right time. I never thought this would be the moment.
"Life will never be the same again. Love you forever."

The mother and father of Joshua Myers said "he was the best brother ever"
Another message addressed to Joshua said he was "loved beyond words".
"We can only make the promise to you now to look after and guide your precious family and navigate them through this extremely difficult time," it said.
A tribute from Jordan's grandparents was addressed to their "handsome, funny, gorgeous grandson".
It read: "We feel lost without you. You will live in our hearts forever. May God bless you and keep you safe."
MP for Macclesfield Tim Roca also left a messafe for the pair, which read: "Two young lives gone far too soon. With deepest sympathy."

Police are preparing a report for the coroner following the incident
Another note added: "Jordan and Josh, fly high. You will always have each other."
Joshua's family last week paid tribute to "the best big brother ever".
"Our hearts have been broken, and the world seems incomplete without them," they said.
British Transport Police said a file was being prepared for the coroner.
