Mum's emotional tribute to 'loving' son who died on train tracks

A bench will be placed in Derby Park to commemorate the life of James Myers.

James tragically lost his life in 2019 when he climbed onto a high voltage train network by Bedford Road in Bootle. James who was just 12 at the time of his death was survived by his mum, dad, and two brothers.

To commemorate his life a fundraising campaign was started in his memory to put a bench in Derby Park. Speaking to the ECHO his mum, Sharon said: "James was very lively and very dramatic he loved life, going out on his bike and playing with his friends."
