Web images reveal caring nature of tragic Reamonn

JOYFUL and loving, they are tender scenes which demonstrate the selfless and caring nature of murdered teenager Reamonn Gormley.

Footage emerged yesterday of the Blantyre student's time spent working abroad with underprivileged children,

The 19-year-old had spent time as a community volunteer in Thailand, teaching schoolchildren English. In a video uploaded to Youtube, he can be seen laughing with the youngsters as he teaches them the words to a Celtic song. The work was indicative of Mr Gormley's kind nature, which also saw him carrying out numerous charity runs to support St Andrew's Hospice in Airdrie. Two years ago, he climbed Ben Nevis to raise funds for the organisation.

Viewers on Youtube also paid tribute to the teenager.
