HARVEY Willgoose’s heartbroken family have told how they want him to be remembered as a “cheeky chappy” and not a pupil stabbed to death at school.

- By Paul Jeeves

They said he was a “beacon of light” who brought joy to the lives of mum Caroline, dad Mark, 52, sister Sophie, 28, and brother Lewis, 25.

Mrs Willgoose said: “I want him to be known as the kid he was. I hate that saying ‘Harvey Willgoose, the pupil that was stabbed to death at school’. He'd hate that.

“I want him to be remembered as the fun-loving kid, cheeky chappy, sociable kid that he was.”
