FANS marked a minute of applause in memory of a boy who “took his own life”.

The tribute to Mason Warwick was announced before kick off, and fans from both Brighton and Hove Albion and visitors Southampton joined together during the 12th minute.

Last week The Argus reported on the heartbreak for Mason’s parents Kelly and Daniel Warwick who said he was their “special angel”.

The 12-year-old Varndean School pupil was taken to hospital earlier this month.

A fundraising page was set up in his memory.

Meanwhile the coroner has been informed of his death and is preparing an inquest hearing.

His parents said: “He was the loveliest and sweetest boy.

“He was happy-go-lucky, really polite and loved by everybody. You couldn’t ask for a better kid.”
