"Specialist trained officers have updated Jamie’s family and are providing support.

"Our thoughts are with them and Jamie’s loved ones and friends at this incredibly sad time.

"A post-mortem examination will take place in the coming days. However at this time, there is not believed to be any suspicious circumstances.

"Due to previous police contact, a mandatory referral will be made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC)."

On the Facebook page, the organisers - including Jamie's partner Paige - wrote: "Please come join and get Jamie back with his family! This is a massive event and means so much to Jamie's loved ones!"

Paige previously told Hull Live the family is "besides themselves" and Jamie's daughters "can’t wait to have the biggest cuddle with their daddy."
