Details have been revealed ahead of a fundraiser being held this Sunday to raise money for the families of two young men who died in a crash in Royton.

The event is set to be held at Springhead Football Club on St John Street in Springhead as friends of Harry Atkinson, 20, and Lewis Meeson, 21, look to raise money for their families.

Activities, including a raffle and face painting, will be taking place, with the event set to start at 2pm before a charity football match takes place at 3pm.

Donation buckets will also be carried around throughout the day.

On Tuesday (April 19), the GoFundMe page also organised to raise money for the young men's families surpassed the £15,000 mark.

In the description on the page, the organisers say they are looking to raise the money so they can give Harry and Lewis "the send off they deserve".

It also says that "everyone is welcome" to the event on Sunday to "celebrate their memory".

Donations can be made on the GoFundMe page by searching 'Raising funds for the families of our friends!' by Jack Tierney.  

Harry and Lewis died after the motorbike they were riding was involved in a crash with a car on April 15.

Paying tribute, Harry's family said: "Words can't describe how it feels to lose our youngest child, Harry - our son - in such a tragic way.

"Our hearts are broken.

"His life and his death will touch many people - most of all those who love him dearly."

The family of Lewis said in their statement that they have been "completely devastated by the loss of our beloved Lewis".

"We are truly humbled by the outpouring of love and support from the community and from Lewis’s friends and family.

"This has reinforced what we already knew; that he is loved and cherished by everyone who knew him."

The pair's deaths are subject to an ongoing investigation by GMP's Serious Collision Investigation Unit.

The driver of the Ford remained at the scene and is assisting with enquiries.

No arrests have been made following the crash and police are continuing to appeal for information and dash-cam footage.
