Tragedy has struck a Bridlington holiday park where teenagers Cherish and Ethan lost their lives. Their families have paid emotional tributes to the beloved youngsters, who were taken far too soon.

Mother’s Agonising Tribute to Cherish

She added, “If you know me, I live and breathe my babies, and we were away for a few nights making the best memories ever. We have had the best life together and it has been ripped from under us. There are no words, I am shattered and will never recover. Hug your children tonight, you do not know how lucky you are.”

Warm Words for Ethan from Those Who Loved Him

Paying tribute to Ethan, his mum said, “Ethan was the most beautiful young man to walk the earth. He was generous, loving, charming and kind. He would help anyone and was a strong family man. He took care of himself and loved his Mum, Stepdad, brothers and sister.”
Ethan’s dad added a heartbreaking line: “I am a broken man without you, son. I will love you eternally my boy. You were taken way too soon from me. Love you always.”
