In a tribute, Councillor Sam Gorst, from the Cressington ward, said: "Garston is in mourning. Many residents are remembering the life and memories of Frank Moran. Someone who clearly had an enormous impact on many lives, both young and old.

"The love people had for him and the love they felt from him is not easy to put in words. I didn't know Frank well but what I did like was the fact that he listened and was straight talking, qualities I admire in a person.

"From the amazing words, pictures and hurt that I have seen and felt today I know that he was most certainly a very special young man. Rest in peace Frank."

Lynnie Williams, Labour Councillor for Chessington, also said: "Not even sure where to begin, being a youth worker under the bridge was the greatest honour and privilege I've ever had, watching so many kids grow in so many ways, they truly enriched my life and none more so than Frank Moran. My permanent headache, my biggest heart.

"I am absolutely devastated for Laura, your beautiful son, our family and the whole community. Frank I will forever be in your debt for watching out for my Toby, no one will ever really know just how much that meant to me, he loved you like a brother, and you him."
