Six-year-old boy remains in hospital after lake fall as firefighters lay tributes to victims

Devastated firefighters who attempted to save three boys who tragically died after falling through a frozen lake have left laid floral tributes in their memory, while one child remains in hospital.

The trio - aged eight, 10 and 11 - tragically died in hospital on Monday night after emergency service workers tried to rescue them at the Babbs Mill lake at Kinghurst in Solihull, Birmingham. A six-year-old boy is currently fighting for his life as he remains in a critical condition.

Firefighters in protective overalls placed the flowers near the scene of the tragedy. The seven sombre-looking crew formed a line as they laid bouquets of flowers while being applauded by members of the public for their bravery.
