Ted, 20

This is my last photo of his smiling face - he had just caught a crab and was delighting all the children by passing it around and talking to them about it. He was bright, incredibly loving and kind. He made us laugh every day and had an incredible connection with nature.

This photo was taken on holiday in Padstow, Cornwall - his ‘happy place’. On the very same holiday, 3 days later, he took his own life.
