They said: “Daniel was a handsome, funny and talented boy who really cared about his friends and family.
“Everyone wanted to be his friend and he was popular because of the beautiful spirit he had.
“Daniel was a big Birmingham City Football Club fan and would love going to the games with his grandad and friends.

“His family and friends are all devastated from this awful tragedy, and this will forever leave an everlasting pain in all of our hearts. We cannot put into words how much we will miss him and his cheeky smile.
“We want to thank the community for all of the kind messages, love and support. It has given us all comfort knowing just how loved he was by so many people and shows they all saw what we saw in him.
