Fireworks lit up the sky and balloons were released as a south Manchester community remembered a teenager whose life was snatched away from him. A vigil was held to remember Kyle Hackland, who was just 17-years-old when he was fatally stabbed in Withington on Tuesday (November 22).
On Sunday evening, hundreds gathered along Southlea Road, at the exact spot where he was fatally injured. Members of the local community, along with close family and friends, met shortly before 5pm to come together and remember the 'kind and well-mannered young boy'.
Candles were lit and touching floral tributes were laid on the ground beside pictures of the teenager, before a countdown was held and huge clusters of balloons were released into the sky, followed by a display of fireworks.
