There will also be a fireworks display on nearby Hillfield Green.

Mourners are invited meet at the bridge from 6pm tonight, January 31.

Police will be present to keep friends and family safe.

Mr Ahmed was described as a "lovable rogue" by his family, who thanked members of the public for their support following his death.

They said in a statement: "Thank you all for the love and support shown for Isaac; it has been amazing.

"Isaac was a lovable rogue who was known by everyone in Burton.

"Remember him for his infectious smile and for the wonderful times we all shared. We will not forget him.

"At moments like this in life, it shows how close a community can be and the amount of people Isaac interacted with in his short life. May he rest in peace."
