One of the most poignant was from the Army Cadets, where he had reached the most senior rank of Cadet RSM.

Commandant Colonel Gareth Wright said: "He embraced every opportunity we could offer him, and it was a pleasure to watch him grow and develop into a mature young man.”

Before Christmas, Jack’s sister Amy raised £1,445 for the road safety charity Brake in his memory, by organising a 20-mile charity walk.
