Dozens of mourners leave teddy bears and hold a candlelight vigil for three boys who died after falling into an ice-covered lake near Birmingham in central England.
Police said officers would continue searching the water, although no one else was reported missing.During Monday's vigil in Kingshurst, a neighbourhood near Babbs Mill Lake, mourners placed lit candles and added flowers, toys and teddies to a sea of tributes at a makeshift shrine.
Marcus Brain, chair of the governing board for one of the boys' schools, told the BBC the close-knit community was struggling to process the tragedy.Rescuers pulled the boys from the icy waters, but they could not be revived. The boys fell through ice covering the lake as snow and ice blanketed much of the UK and the country recorded its coldest night of the year so far.
Scores of schools closed for a second day on Tuesday, for reasons including heating failure, burst pipes and snow and ice.
