Former classmates of Joe Catley have given up a limousine for their prom and have travelled in a minibus in one final tribute to him.

The £510 they would have spent on a limousine was donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust in memory of Joe, and was matched by Phillips66.

Since 16-year-old Joe tragically died of cancer in 2016, his friends and former classmates have raised thousands of pounds for the charity, and have also built a memorial garden in the school.

"This is such an amazing, magical year group," Justin Wakefield, the Assistant Principle of Humberston Academy, said.

"It speaks volumes about how kind and selfless this group of students are. They've really come together in this time of hardship.

"There's been such an absolutely incredible amount of support. Joe has been a huge driving force for this much-needed fundraising."

The group donated the £510 a limousine would have cost, and one of their parents who works at Phillips66 convinced the company to match it, bringing the total to £1020.

Instead of taking a fancy limousine, the group instead travelled in a minibus provided free of charge.

"We wanted to do one last thing, and this seemed really fitting," Joe's former-classmate Freya Davies said.

"Our parents came up with the idea to donate the money we would have spent on the limousine to Joe, and we all wanted to do it.

"It has been one big collective effort to create the memorial garden and keep his memory alive."

This money is on top of the incredible £15,000 already donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Liz Catley, Joe's mum, paid tribute to the amount of work that has been done to raise money in her son's memory.

"It's incredible how much fundraising has happened in Joe's name - it keeps changing and evolving. It shows what a special school this is," she said.

"All the fundraising has helped enormously since Joe passed away."

The group of Humberston Academy students have previously collected a tonne of unwanted clothing and hosted cake sales.

Although Joe's year group is leaving the Academy, his memory will live on thanks to a permanent memorial decorated with a snowboard and basket ball, showing his passion for sports.
