Barnaby Webber and his friend Grace O'Malley-Kumar had been celebrating the end of their exams when they were stabbed to death as they walked home from a night out in June. Barnaby's mother and Grace's brother have described the raw pain of their grief at an event in their memory.
Mrs Webber said it was comforting to be among her son's friends for the memorial matches at the University of Nottingham, where both teenagers studied.
"I miss his beaming smile, I miss his banter with his brother, I miss his eye roll emojis… I miss everything, the pain of walking past his bedroom, seeing his clothes, his cricket bag, are all there but he's not," she said. "We're still coming to terms with that. Whether one day maybe we will, maybe we won't, I don't think there's a rule book for this but we miss him, we miss his energy.GoFundMe pages to raise money for memorial foundations
The families of Barnaby and Grace have set up GoFundMe pages and they intend to use the money raised to launch foundations in their memory. Grace's 16-year-old brother, James, played in the cricket fundraiser and told Sky News that his family's pain is"still very raw", but he hopes that"something good" will come out of the"horrible tragedy".
