Pupils at the school where Forbury Gardens attack victim James Furlong was a teacher have unveiled a tribute to him.

After his death on 20 June 2020 pupils at the Holt School in Wokingham set up a memorial fund.

Money from the fund has been used to commission a mosaic by international award winning artist, Gary Drostle. It was designed in collaboration with the students of The Holt School and the memorial team.

The final design incorporated the many passions and interests of James and reflect what the school described as 'his awe-inspiring legacy.'

The memorial was unveiled earlier this week at a special memorial service.

The school is encouraging people to keep donating to and sharing the Go-Fund Me Page so they can raise as much money as possible for the charities closest to James’ heart.
