I understand what you’re saying but if his family have laid these in memory of Jay, please just let them. If this is part of their grieving process, then that’s for them to do. They’re going through an incredibly hard time and the least of their worries should be about “leaving tatt”. They want to remember their boy.I fail to see how littering an area of exceptional national beauty is supposed to be a good thing but that's just me.
Ditto the mountains of cut flowers in plastic wrappers that get piled up at the scene of accidents. Surely there's got to be a nicer way to mark the scene of a fatality and someone's life / passing, generally speaking, than cheap tatt, plastic, littering, and fire hazards?
Whilst it's not something I'd do I can't bring myself to criticise a family who've been through an horrendous month and are expressing their grief as they know howI fail to see how littering an area of exceptional national beauty is supposed to be a good thing but that's just me.

Completely agree.I fail to see how littering an area of exceptional national beauty is supposed to be a good thing but that's just me.

In the moments ,days and weeks that follow a death and one where a life is cut so short in such tragedy, the mind is not thinking of being environmentally friendly .we are not present ,our mind is in a dark place ,full of sadness and pain ,we can barely function with day to day tasks a token of compassion is normally afforded to families going through such hard emotional grief by grounds keepers and people who help preserve the land , while I would in normal circumstances abhor littering ,this can be cleaned up discretely later and to describe a grieving families tokens of love to their son as tatt on a public forum is slightly insensitive tbhI fail to see how littering an area of exceptional national beauty is supposed to be a good thing but that's just me.

Map shows all Jay Slater's last movements before tragic end in remote valley
Map helps trace the last movements of missing Brit Jay Slater, 19, who was sadly found dead earlier this week. His death comes following a massive search operation in Tenerifewww.mirror.co.uk
He certainly wasn't heading down any supposed directional route to Los Cristianos but it's been mooted that he could see the sea and was headed down to the closest beach, in the hope that he could follow the coast round to LC. He was actually on 'a' correct route to that beach, directionally - a very small, secluded beach which wouldn't have helped him much anyway - but certainly 'the wrong way' from the safety point of view.He was going the wrong way?
We don't know where he thought he was going so I don't think anyone will ever know for sure, sadly it wasn't a safe route to anywhereHe was going the wrong way?
So it seems.He was going the wrong way?
I can understand why they won’t reveal the location to the press but why not the family I wonder? If it will give them peace of mind and transparency, I can’t see why not.
