Such a shame that a happy occasion like the Parade has ended in tragedy for this family. I really hope the lad pulls through and can live a normal life after his recovery.

What a horrible tragedy for this family.
Their lasting memories of this great event for the rest of us is heartbreaking. I hope there's a happy ending in this story for this family.

That's awful for the lad and his family.
Such a happy day turned to tragedy for them in an instant.
Fingers crossed he comes back from it.

Absolutely awful for the lad and his family.

I have to ask tho, surely climbing trees in the centre should have been prohibited.. if not, why not?

Accidents happen but this probably underlines a failure somewhere on the day.

Individual responsibility? Clear instructions not to climb trees. Beer involved and a party atmosphere! Think on

The poor lad made a mistake of judgement. Who doesn't from time to time. He is now paying for it along with suffering family and friends.

Best wishes for a full recovery and life of normality.

Simply awful and thoughts with all of them. MOT.

Recall young folk climbing on top of bus shelters near me and police just looked at them. Fearless when young is the trouble.

Agree

so tragic, when I was young a lad fell from a tree onto one of those metal spikes on railings.. awful, he was concur picking..

I think, the slight different angle to this is when you find out they have been drinking.. how many times on the news have we heard 'English lad falls from balcony on holiday in Spain' - not saying its not tragic... but fault has to go to the individual.
