James Thomas, headmaster of Sutton Valence School, said: "Our school was very sad to hear the tragic news about Jack this morning. He was a very popular member of the community, and we have sent our condolences to the family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the incident."

Cops also claimed the young man had been warned by ground crew not to return to the chopper. The 20-year-old, whose dad Robin owns Bromley FC, told MailOnline: "No instructions were given when exiting the helicopter and no one escorted us to the lounge. All they did was open the doors for us. We disembarked on our own and no one stopped Jack from going to the rear of the helicopter. None of us reached the lounge before the accident happened.
