Maddi Corfield, the girlfriend of Wilf Henderson, has posted a tribute online.

She described him as "the sweetest and most loving boy I've ever known", adding: "I hope you know how much I love you, gorgeous."

"Thank you for all the time you've spent with me... thank you for loving me endlessly. I promise I'll do the same for you, my sweet, sweet angel," she said.

Candles will be lit at the Pipe Makers Arms in Broseley, Shropshire, on Wednesday evening.

Staff said they were saddened to hear the tragic news, and people are welcome to join the event and light a candle.

For those not familiar with the area, the car the four boys were travelling in was found near Garreg in Gwynedd.

This is roughly 70.9 miles (114km) from their homes in Shrewsbury, Shropshire.

The teenagers were believed to have been travelling in the Porthmadog and Harlech areas of Gwynedd in north Wales.

Harlech sits inside the Eryri National Park, also known as Snowdonia, while Porthmadog falls just outside its boundary.

Supt Owain Llewellyn says officers came across a Ford Fiesta overturned and partially submerged in water.
