Your tributes to Jacob Jenkins one year on from his death

Scores of readers posted heartfelt messages of love on the Mail’s social media pages yesterday.

The number of posts proved just how much Jacob, who did not recover after he choked while enjoying a family meal at Pizza Hut, is still in the town’s thoughts.

Yesterday, youngsters and staff at Scallywags Nursery, in Seaton Carew, where Jacob attended from the age of six months paid their own tribute by wearing yellow – Jacob’s favourite colour – and laid flowers and released balloons in his memory.

On the Mail’s Facebook page Kelly Ann Flint said Jacob’s loss was felt not just in Hartlepool but in surrounding villages too adding: “He broke my heart god love him! I hope his family are staying strong!”
