The family of one of four teenagers who died in a car crash on the Oxfordshire border at the weekend released a moving tribute.
James Bowyer, 18, of Marsh Gibbon, near Bicester, died in the fatal collision on the A422 Brackley Road, in Westbury, Buckinghamshire, on Sunday, when the car he was travelling in hit a tree.
His family said: "James was a wonderful son, brother and grandson.
"You have left a great void in our lives, your cheeky smile and sense of humour will be with us always.
"He loved his job as a trainee panel beater and fitter apprentice. James was just about to go to college to gain more qualifications."
Matthew Simpson, 17, of Montgomery Road, Caversfield, near Bicester, who was left in a critical condition after the crash, is now making steady progress.
His father Mark Simpson said yesterday: "He is doing great today. He had an 11-hour operation for corrective work yesterday and the doctors have done lots of things, fixing him up. We are really, really pleased and he is doing incredibly well."
