Another says: "Mohammed, your accomplishments were known throughout the medical school.

"You were and always willl be an inspiration to the rest of us.

"Rest in peace, my friend."

Within less than 24 hours nearly £4,000 has been raised and the money will go toward building water wells in drought-hit communities in Pakistan.

Norfolk Police and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) launched a joint investigation into Farraj's death.

On Friday morning, the police tape cordoning off the site was removed.

The Sportspark is due to reopen on October 19 but it is not currently clear whether the whole site will be accessible to the public.
