Hayley’s body was discovered on the beach by Fort Perch Rock the following morning, but it was two weeks before a crew member on the Birkenhead to Belfast ferry spotted Robbie’s body in the River Mersey.

His family have requested that instead of floral tributes, donations should be made to the RNLI in Robbie’s memory.
