An eight-year-old cyclist who died after being struck by a car last week was remembered on Saturday as a “shining star” who “would light up a room”.

André Ladeiro’s heartbroken father César fought through tears to pay tribute to his “baby giant”, who died on Wednesday, four days after the incident.
