Connor Brown murder: Floral tributes left by patients at Sunderland GP surgery where the 'happy and kind' teenager worked

Connor died following an incident behind The Borough in Vine Place, Sunderland city centre, in the early hours of Sunday.

He was rushed to the RVI for treatment but sadly passed away.

Two men appeared at South Tyneside Magistrates' Court Tuesday charged with murder.

Dozens of tributes have been left in the city centre where the GP receptionist was fatally attacked.

Now patients at Happy House Surgery, where the popular teenager worked, have left floral tributes outside the Durham Road practice.

One tribute outside the GP surgery said: "RIP Connor. Although we didn't know you personally we did know you as the happy, smiley receptionist from the doctors. You helped my mam hold my son when he needed bloods doing.

"You were always smiling."

Another reads: "Connor, always such a kind, helpful and considerate chap. So very sorry this has happened to you and your family.

"Saying prayers for you and all those close to you."

An appeal fund set up to support Connor's family on the Go Fund Me site has already smashed through its initial target of £8,000 and now stands at over £20,000.

Friends of Connor have announced that they will hold a balloon release event on a field next to North Moor Lane in Farringdon tomorrow.

The balloons are set to be released at 6.30pm.
