The Scottish father of a 10-year-old boy who was killed in a tragic accident in Topshop posted an emotional tribute to his son online.
Kaden Reddick was killed in a freak accident inside a branch of the fashion retailer.
Father Ian Reddick, of East Kilbride, changed his Facebook profile picture to a photograph of him and his son.
He wrote as tribute: "Love you my little man, it's hurting so much."
Kaden suffered severe head injuries after he was struck on the head by a queue barrier on Monday afternoon.
He was taken to the Royal Berkshire Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Relatives and firends of the family took to social media to pay their own tributes to Kaden.
A bunch of flowers was left by a passer-by against the shop's closed shutters. A card, which was unsigned, read: "RIP little man. To the family. Please take home if you wish x."
Reading Borough Council said its health and safety officers have been working with police on the investigation.
A spokeswoman said: "Our thoughts are with the family during this difficult time.
"As the enforcing authority for health and safety within retail premises, we will be working closely with the police, who are at present leading on the investigation.
"We are contacting all parties involved in order to carry out our investigation into this tragic incident."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
