On Thursday, November 17, another of Harry's former schools shared their sympathies.

Debbie West, headteacher at Bredon Hill Academy, said: “We are all deeply saddened to hear the news that one of our former students recently lost their life.

“Every pupil who attends Bredon Hill Academy and formerly Bredon Hill Middle School remains a part of our local school community and our thoughts and sympathies are with Harry's family and friends at this very sad time.”

Harry had been missing since Friday, November 11, prompting West Mercia Police to launch a public appeal.

After finding his car in Evesham, police sent a specialist search and rescue team to the town and on Wednesday morning (November 16) a body was discovered in the Waterside area.
