Tributes have been paid to 16-year-old Dylan Holliday who was stabbed to death in Wellingborough last week. 

In a statement released by the police, his family said he was the ‘best son, brother, cousin and friend’. 

They went on to say: “He will forever be in our hearts and the memories of his life will stay with us forever. We know he’s up there smiling while he’s riding! #BIKELIFE.”

A vigil was held at the weekend for Dylan, who loved motorcycles. 

Around 300 people and 50 motorcycles gathered in the morning in the Queensway and Shelley Road area to pay their respects to him.
