Walsall lake tragedy: Tributes pour in for Spencer Hurst

These are the heartbreaking words of the girlfriend of Spencer Hurst as tributes have poured in for the 15-year-old.

Lacey Rolston, from Walsall, has led the tributes to her boyfriend after his tragic death on Tuesday night.

Spencer got into difficulties after swimming in Ryders Hayes Mear, Pelsall, with friends. His body was recovered from the water around an hour after the alarm was raised.

She posted a picture of Spencer on social media with the caption: "This won't ever feel real, I miss you so much already. I'm lost for words and broken. You will always hold the most special place in my heart. Until the day we meet again baba."

Yesterday an emotional Hollie Hurst, Spencer's sister, described how she and him were 'like twins' and said he was very protective of her.

Speaking at Ryders Hayes Mere, where her brother's body was found, Hollie added: "He was really funny, cheeky and very polite.

Also at the lake yesterday leaving a floral tribute was 31-year-old Hayley Peakman, the mother of Spencer's close friend Josh Peakman, aged 14.

Ms Peakman broke down in tears as she told the Express & Star how Josh had been with Spencer at the lake earlier in the day.

She said: "I'm in shock. It doesn't feel like it's happened. It feels like a prank.
