Boy died after fall from 'Body Count' ride after youngsters sneaked into closed funfair

A teenage boy who died in a "serious incident" at a funfair had scaled fencing to get into the closed site and climbed to the top of a ride, locals have said.

Emergency crews were called to Pencester Gardens in Dover at around 7.45am today - when the fair was reportedly still closed.

The site was hosting the Family Funfair run by Kent-based Forrest Amusements which, according to a poster, was due to open to the public on Wednesday.
