HUNDREDS of people have paid tribute to Sean.

Left near the scene of the tragedy was a heartfelt letter from Sean’s best friend, Kiev, saying: “Sean, you were my best mate and will be forever. Missing you mate.”

Another read: “My friend Sean. You are too young to die; you’re just a little boy. You are ten and I am nine. For seven years you were my friend, you only lived next door. We ate and slept at each other’s houses.

“RIP my little friend. I will always remember you. Your friend Jordan and sister Zoe.”

Friend Aron Machin wrote: “You are a very special friend and I will miss you mate.”

More than 400 messages had also been posted on a tribute page on Facebook. Among them were: “Always remember you and will never forget, lil man, you will become a pro-footballer in heaven you little angel.”

“RIP lil dude, prayers go out to you xxx.” – Jay Clarkson.
