A 15-year-old boy has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of teenager Harvey Willgoose who was stabbed to death at school – but has denied murder.

The boy also pleaded guilty to the possession of a bladed article.

Harvey Willgoose, also 15, died after being attacked at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield in February.

Dozens of people left flowers and messages outside the school after his death.

Harvey was a Sheffield United fan and his friends joined supporters and others affected by his death at Sheffield Town Hall to march to the ground ahead of the club’s match against Portsmouth the weekend after his death.

During the game, play was stopped and applause broke out in the 15th minute, as fans and players paid tribute.
