The family of three year old Freddie Hussey who died following a car accident on Monday have paid tribute to their "amazing" boy.

In a statement released through Avon and Somerset Police they said "Everyone loved Freddie, he could melt you with his cheeky smile. He was always a happy boy and loved going to the park and to feed the ducks.

"He was obsessed with muddy puddles and sticks and everywhere we went he would be picking sticks up. He was just your average three year old, well he was more, he was amazing. Freddie doted on his big brother. He had just started nursery and was so proud to put on the same uniform that Archie wore.

"He loved copying his big brother and they complemented each other with everything. If one was playing with a toy the other would go and join in. Like all brothers they would be fighting one minute and then five minutes later they would be kissing and cuddling.

"He really liked rugby and even though Archie was seven, Freddie would tackle him and run at him with a rugby ball. That morning Freddie had given Archie the biggest hug when we dropped him at school.

"Freddie loved Broad Plain RFC and he was a big part of that club. All the boys knew him and loved him. He called it his garden because he would go and play there regardless of the weather.

"When he was being cheeky we used to tell him off and then he would sulk but to get out of trouble he used to just look at us and he had the cheekiest smile."
