Touching tributes to late teen Patrick Halpin

“Your song has ended, but the melody lingers on” — the touching Twitter tribute posted by Regina Ní hAilpín just hours after her brother’s body was found in London’s Leicester Square on Thursday evening.

Galway teenager Patrick Halpin had been missing since he left a nightclub near the square in the early hours of Wednesday morning to get some food.

British police say that after he left the club, he was captured on CCTV entering a nearby Burger King.
