Dozens of teenagers have gathered at a town park to remember tragic teenager Kyle Coen.

The 14-year-old died on Monday night after being knocked off his bike by a hit-and-run driver.

He was on his way to see girlfriend Donna Clarke when the incident happened outside Bapchild Cricket Club.

At 1pm today, around 60 pupils from Sittingbourne Community College arrived at the Rectory Road playing field holding helium-filled balloons.

Moments later they gathered in a circle, with Donna in the centre, before releasing them in to the air and shouting ‘Kyle’.

The last one to be released was Donna’s red heart-shaped balloon with a photo of her and her sweetheart attached to it.

Kyle’s mum is believed to have watched the vigil from a distance. His form tutor Sally Hills was also in attendance.

A 27-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man, arrested in connection with the incident, have been released on bail. They will return to a Kent police station at a later date.
