Following the sad death of a 12-year-old boy in Cornwall last week, friends of his family have set up a crowdfunding page to fund a celebration of his life. 

Harrison Palmer, from Camborne, was pronounced deceased at the scene of a single-vehicle collision on Monday last week, in Pool.

Harrison's family have since paid tribute to him, saying: "We are devastated and truly heartbroken over the loss of our beautiful boy Harrison. No words can describe our pain.

“We want to thank all of the emergency services and members of the community who did all they could.

“We are also very grateful for the love, support and condolences that we have received since.”
