A FORMER sixth former from Pershore High School has done a skydive to raise money in memory of his friend.

Nathan Branchett, aged 18, completed the tandem skydive in memory of fellow school friend Felix Alexander, who died, aged 17, in April.

Nathan raised £2,300 for the charity Place2Be, a children's mental health charity, which Felix's mum Lucy has been supporting since his death.

An inquest found Felix had committed suicide.

Mrs Alexander recently urged youngsters to be kind to each other, saying her son had previously suffered years of bullying on social media.

Nathan's skydive was from 15,000 feet above Dunkeswell Aerodrome in an airfield in East Devon, near Honiton on October 2.

Pupils at Pershore High School also held a non-uniform day at the school.
