Justin McLaughlin’s heartbroken friends and family have gathered to release balloons in memory of the Glasgow teen.
Mourners dressed in green and white to honour the 14-year-old’s love of Celtic FC as they came together on a sports pitch in Baillieston on Saturday afternoon.
Green, white and orange flares were set off while dozens of helium balloons were launched into the sky at 3.45pm - exactly one week after the youth was found seriously injured.
Police officers were also in attendance to monitor the large crowd after Justin’s family warned troublemakers to stay away amid fears of further violence.
Auntie Maggie McLaughlin previously said that anyone causing a disturbance would be asked to leave by the family as they grieved their loved one.
Justin died after an incident at Glasgow’s High Street train station on Saturday, October 16.
Emergency services were called to the scene following reports of an ‘disturbance’ which left Justin suffering from fatal injuries.
He was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital but was pronounced dead a short time later - sparking a major police probe.
A 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has since appeared in court charged with murder.
He was also charged with assault to severe injury, threatening behaviour and being in possession of a bladed item in public.
He made no plea and was remanded in custody following his private appearance.
We previously told how sick gang members had taunted the 14-year-old’s family with a vile photographic display at the scene of his death.
The cruel youngsters, who were wearing masks, posed for pictures alongside a Rangers FC flag to bait his grieving relatives.
The snap was then sent via Instagram to Justin’s relatives who are understood to have reported it to police.
