Harry, who had just finished his A-levels at Stamford School this month, was crossing the railway line near West Street, Tinwell, at about 11.30am yesterday (Tuesday) when he was struck by a freight train travelling from Oakham to Stamford.
Police and paramedics, assisted by Dr Leon Roberts of volunteer medics East Midlands Immediate Care Scheme, attended but Harry was pronounced dead at the scene.
