The parents of a 10-year-old boy who died when a bus carrying school kids overturned have thanked their community for its 'overwhelming' support.

Oliver Price was tragically pronounced dead at the scene after the 70-seater coach transporting pupils and teachers from Exmoor Zoo back to Minehead Middle School flipped on July 17.

The bus had been travelling on the A396 at Cutcombe Hill near Minehead when it slid down a 20ft slope.

Oliver was devastatingly found trapped in his seat having suffered fatal head injuries as a result, with many more children and adults being rushed to hospital.

In the near-two weeks since Oliver's death, dozens of mourners in the community have laid bouquets of flowers outside his former school.
