The family of Jay Slater, who was found dead in Tenerife, have announced the arrangements for his funeral, and launched a new fundraiser in his memory
The heartbroken family of Jay Slater have backed a fundraising campaign to "honour" the teen's memory. The 19-year-old's body was repatriated to the UK from Tenerife last week, on the same day that his loved ones returned home.
The family have now revealed plans for his funeral, which is set to take place on Saturday, August 10. They have requested family flowers only, and asked that anyone wishing to donate should do so to LBT Global, a crisis support charity which assisted the Slater family, reports the Mirror. In a heartfelt tribute, Jay's family shared: "After Jay left Rhyddings High School he went on to become an apprentice bricklayer with the PH Build group, a job he greatly enjoyed. At the young age of 5 Jay started playing football for Huncoat United FC until the age of 17 and also did a few seasons with the Sunday team at St Joseph's too.
