A candlelit vigil has been held in Worcester, to pay tribute to Thomas Jones, who went missing in the city nearly two weeks ago.
The 18 year-old hasn't been seen since walking along the Sabrina footbridge in Worcester in the early hours of Wednesday 19th September, after a freshers night out.
On Friday (28th) police investigating Tom's disappearance recovered a body from the River Severn, although formal identification is yet to take place.
Last night, around a thousand people gathered at the Sabrina bridge to pay tribute to the first year teaching student.
At one point, everyone turned their phone lights on and sang 'Wonderwall' by Oasis.
