Former Chase Terrace Technology School pupil Connor Allen died at his home in Cannock on Monday (March 28).

Thousands of fellow students have already commented on a Facebook page and an online memorial site.

And both his old school friends and new ones at Cannock Chase High School joined hundreds of students to observe a minute’s silence in his memory on Wednesday.

One Facebook poster wrote:

“To everybody that did the silence for Connor , can I just say I’m sure you made him smile. He’s got so many mates that really will honour his memory.”

Another added:

“Over 600 of us showed up for a minute of silence – there’s another one soon for the whole school. You’ll be missed.”
