Hundreds of well-wishers came together on Tuesday evening to remember a gentle giant who was loved by so many.

Lighting lanterns and launching balloons, the friends and family of Justin Newitt paid tribute to the 38-year-old who died last week after falling at the Maidstone TV Studios.

Fiancee Jemma Webb joined in with the tribute, lighting up the night sky in her partner's memory.

His brother Ainsley and other relatives were at the event in the park off York Road, Maidstone.

Mr Newitt had a son from a previous relationship, George Phillips, and a 20-year-old son, Ayden Diprose, also from Maidstone.

It is understood Mr Newitt, who is from Maidstone, fell 15ft.

Last week, Kent Police and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) launched an investigation into the cause of the accident.

A police spokesman said the probe was to establish if there was any criminal wrongdoing behind the tragic fall.

His nephew, Curtis Carreras was working with Mr Newitt at the time of the incident. He said: "It was only this morning I was working with you and within a second you were gone."
