The family of a 13-year-old boy who was found dead in a ditch three days after he went missing have described him as "a shining light and a character with a big heart".
Lewis Eddleston's body was found near his Doncaster home on Wednesday. He had drowned, police said.
His family released a statement that said: "Lewis was a shining light and a character with a big heart, always managing to make you smile in any situation."

The family said Lewis loved music and would always try to "push the boundaries on the household's decibel limit".
The statement said: "Lewis was 'mummy's boy' and always managed to wriggle out of situations.
"Lewis touched all of our lives in the way that a piece of the family jigsaw will always be missing.
"He loved his nieces and nephew, always wanting to be involved in their lives and daily activities.
"He will be sorely missed by all of us who love him.
"We are proud to have enjoyed our time with Lewis and looked forward to celebrating his 14th birthday, with him, this coming Sunday."
The family thanked everyone who had helped to find Lewis and who had supported them this week.
They said: "At times he may not have been an angel but now he's an angel looking down on all who loved him."
Yesterday, his brother Michael said the family was "very angry" with the police response after Lewis went missing on Sunday.
He said: "We've been on our own, apart from the community."
A post-mortem examination revealed Lewis died from drowning soon after he was seen leaving playing fields on Sunday evening.
His death is not being treated as suspicious.
