FRIENDS and family of murdered teenager Connor Tremble will hold a remembrance service on Friday, a year after his death.

The ceremony will be held Shanklin United Reformed Church in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight, where Connor’s mother Lisa Tremble now lives.

Miss Tremble has invited anyone who loved her son, who was stabbed to death in Oxford last year, to attend the service.

She said: “I just feel like I needed to do something.

“If anybody would like to come down to the church they are most welcome.”

The service will start at 6.30pm and feature music, prayers and a video tribute called The World’s Greatest, made by his friend Lucy-Anne Cage, who has been fundraising in his memory.

In the video a message to Connor reads: “You are an amazing young man, fly high with that gorgeous smile and enjoy paradise.

“We will live on for you.”

The 17-year-old was murdered in his flat in Fairacres Road, Oxford, on February 13, 2014.

In August a jury in Oxford Crown Court found 21-year-old Will Blencowe guilty of murder.
