Hundreds of people have gathered to march through Sheffield in memory of a 15-year-old boy stabbed to death at his school. Harvey Willgoose died on Monday after he was attacked at All Saints Catholic School in the city. Dozens of people have left flowers and messages outside the school since his death. Harvey was an avid Sheffield United fan and football shirts, scarves and messages have been left for him outside the stadium in the city.
One message written on a Sheffield United shirt reads: "RIP Harvey. Forever in our hearts.". Harvey's friends joined Sheffield United supporters and others affected by his death at Sheffield Town Hall to march to the ground ahead of the match against Portsmouth at 3pm. One black and white banner with a picture of Harvey inside the Sheffield United logo read: "Lives not knives. It's not OK.". The march is being supported by Sheffield anti-knife crime charity Always An Alternative.
Earlier on Saturday churches in the city held services to commemorate the teenager. Mark McManus, the parish priest at St Joseph's church in Handsworth, Sheffield, said: "Harvey was a former pupil of St Joseph's Academy and, along with the members of our community who attend All Saints High School, many will have been affected by his death - some very closely.".
