A special assembly was held today at the Thorpe Bay School in memory of a popular student who died after a road accident in Southend.

Brian Mulenga, 13, of Cromwell Road, was riding his bicycle just yards from his home when he collided with a car in Eastern Avenue on Monday afternoon.

He was rushed to Southend Hospital with serious head injuries but died hours later.
