Hundreds of candles lit up Broad Street at the weekend as mourners gathered to remember Aberdeen teenager Liam Smith.
Following a tearful moment of silence, candles were left burning into the night alongside flowers and other tributes in memory of the 16-year-old.
But although there was much sorrow, there was also joy, as Liam’s friends from Westhill Academy paid tribute to the teenager’s fun-loving personality in their own special way by soaking themselves running through the fountain.
During the vigil, one of Liam’s best friends bravely stood up and paid tribute to him in front of the gathered mourners.
He spoke of remembering good times spent at McDonalds, watching videos together, and Liam’s great sense of humour.
