The friends and family of a 14-year-old boy who died after he was hit by a car braved wet and windy weather to commemorate his life. More than 100 people observed a minute’s silence for Ben Somers.
He died after he was knocked from his bike by a car while he rode near to Harlescott crossroads in Shrewsbury in October last year.
