It is with profound sadness that we must announce the passing of our eldest son, Theo.

We are so grateful for every one who has supported us and stood by us throughtout this unimaginable tragedy.

We welcome everyone to the funeral to say goodbye to Theo at the service in St George's Cathedral. If you're a young person and would like to bring a family member to support you, please feel free.

He was hit by a car in July and suffered severe head injuries. Nothing could be done to save him and he passed away a few days later on our wedding anniversary.

If anyone would like to support a charity, we are donating to Brake who supports vicitims and their families affected by road traffic collisions.

St George's has asked us not to bring flowers to the Cathedral, but please feel free to visit his grave and place flowers in Grove Park cemetery in days and weeks ahead.

Theo was the most kind, thoughtful and wonderful young man we could have wished to have in our lives. His 16 years were packed with excitement, optimism and a sense of complete curiosity in everything. He was a total joy to be around.

Our lives have been massively enriched by him, we will always be his very proud parents and brother, he will always be with us, he has shaped who we are. We know many others have been similarly touched by his presence in their lives.

His funeral will take place on Wednesday 7th October at St. George's Cathedral, Southwark. The dress code is black and white, but feel free to wear whatever makes you comfortable.

Anyone who knew and loved him is welcome to join us.

Bring a photo or a favourite memory to share on the day. You can also upload on this site.

Much love to you all

Mike, Claire and Oliver
