Dylan's family thanked family and friends for their support "at this extremely sad and difficult time".

In a statement they said: "It's very difficult to put into words just how much Dylan meant to so many people.

"He will forever be in our hearts and the memories of his life will stay with us forever."

Northamptonshire Police said specialist officers were supporting Dylan's family.

A vigil took place on Sunday for Dylan, with about 300 people and 50 motorcycles gathering in the Queensway and Shelley Road area of the town.
