FAMILY and friends have shown their everlasting love for late schoolboy Jayden Orr by coming together for a touching tattoo tribute.

In a show of support for his mum Kathleen's inspirational defibrillators-for-schools campaign, her college friends now each have a tattoo in his memory.

Fellow student and close friend Michelle Andrews organised for the group to get a symbol in support of Tele-backed Show Some Heart push, and fundraising charity Jayden's Rainbow.

Since the sudden death of ten-year-old Jayden, a hugely talented ice-skater, his family have raised thousands of pounds to put lifesaving machines into local schools.

They are also fighting to get planning laws changed in his name and have taken their fight all the way to the Scottish Parliament.

Mum-of-one Michelle, who organised the tattoo tribute, said: "I wanted to come up with a way that we could all show how much Kathleen means to us all, something that would last forever.

"You can take a bracelet off but you can't take a tattoo off - it is with us always.

"A group of us all went together to get it done."

Michelle, from Roxburgh Street in Greenock, and Kathleen became friends while studying hairdressing at West College Scotland.

Michelle, 34, added: "Kathleen is amazing, she is so strong and has made such a difference.

"Children in our schools are safer now because of her campaign.

"I will always do everything that I can to support her."

Jayden's big brother Dylan also joined the tattoo group while Kathleen is still to get hers.

The rest of the group includes Emma Scott, Hannah Jamieson, Caitlin Somerville, Lauren Bonner, Amber Hall and Harriett Kilday.

Tattoo artist Stephen Downie was delighted to play his part and student Emma chose the Tele's Show Some Heart logo,

She said: "I was terrified, but it was worth it."

Newark Primary pupil Jayden was training at an ice rink in Ayrhsire when he tragically collapsed and died in August 2017.

A defibrillator was fitted at the ice rink but it was never used.

Now the family are devoting their lives to raising money to put the lifesaving devices in all local schools.
