Tributes to the victims

Jack's mum described him as "kind, quiet, thoughtful, and loving" and shared the pain of their last meal together: "Jack and I went out for a meal together on Thursday. It was such a lovely time, just mother and son, enjoying each other's company. Little did I know that it would be the last time we would spend together."

Andrew's family said they are at a "complete loss for words", adding: "Our beautiful Andrew. Your heart is full of kindness and that's why so many people love you. Our worlds are shattered... Life can change in an instant, and Andrew's passing is a painful reminder of how precious every moment really is."

Ben's mum Kerry said: "My life is ripped apart and I don't know how I will do life without you. We did everything together. I'm waiting for you to walk through the door and say 'you OK mum'. You was the kindest person I knew with a heart of gold."

Craig's partner Ellie Jones shared his final words: "The last thing he said to me was, 'I love you, don't get a cob on, I'll be home soon'. He was eating a burger from Champions, his favourite place, and he said, 'I'll be back for that later'."

GoFundMe pages have been set up in memory of each of the four men.
