A tribute posted on social media earlier in March by Mr Norman's mother read: "The last five months, nearly, have been the toughest times of our family's life.

"People have come together and held me and my children up when our world has come crashing down on us.

"So, I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts, doing this [launching the fundraiser] in aid of Connor's short life has shown us that people love and care for him and his family."

A date for his full inquest was set for September 19.
