Donations to the GoFundMe page, set up in his memory have already topped £18,500.

The organisers hope to raise £50,000 for his family.

They said: “Anyone who had the pleasure of crossing paths with Christian will remember him as a genuine, humble, pure-hearted soul, who would do anything for anyone, and with a smile that could light up any room.

“Christian will never be forgotten and he will forever live on in the hearts of those he loved and those who loved him.”
