"He was very popular. Even when I go to his grave now there's always kids sat there - both lasses and lads.
"Mason was a kind-hearted, outgoing person who loved being around his family and friends.
"Everyone who met him took a shine to his shy but cheeky personality, which grew daily alongside his confidence."

Steven, who works as a crane driver, said: "He did ride from a very young age. He loved it, he lived for it.
"I did it all with my father. It was always a family thing until the tragedy."

Ellise Shafer SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you have not seen “Euphoria” Season 2, Episode 7, “The Theater and Its Double.” When Ryan Heffington set out to choreograph the dance number in the penultimate episode of “Euphoria” Season 2, he took a cue from the song it’s set to, Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero.”“I knew it was — and had to be — larger than life,” Heffington tells Variety of the dance, which takes place during Lexi’s (Maude Apatow) play and features over a dozen men in shiny gold football pants gyrating against work out equipment — and each other — in the locker room. Ethan (Austin Abrams) stars in the dance as a character mirroring Nate (Jacob Elordi), whose sexuality (and homophobia) has been bottling underneath the surface during the past two seasons.
