Two teenage brothers who died on a family holiday will be remembered in a special memorial service at their school.

James Hole, aged 16, and his brother Matthew, aged 14, from Hagley, Worcestershire, were dragged underwater while playing in the sea, off North Wales.

Tony Homer, chairman of governors at Haybridge High School, in Hagley, said: "Everyone at the school is deeply shocked about what has happened and we want to remember the boys in the right way.

"The whole school will be involved in the memorial service but nothing can be done before September 12, which is the date everyone is back in school."

A freak current pulled the teenagers under while they were playing off Llandanwg Beach, near Harlech last Thursday.

Attempts by their older brothers Simon, aged 19, and Stephen, aged 18, to find them were in vain.

" I spoke to the headteacher Dr Melvyn Kershaw over the weekend and he will be talking to the Rev Richard Newton, Vicar at St Saviour's Church in Hagley, about the service and what form it should take," added Mr Homer.

Over the weekend, the boys' parents, Kevin and Sue Hole, paid tribute to all four of their sons and the emergency services which launched a massive air, sea and land rescue bid.

Mr Hole, aged 46, said: "We have always spoken to the boys about safety. We have always talked about thinking carefully about the consequences of what they are doing.

"While in the water Matthew commented to his other brothers that we shouldn't go too deep to keep out of trouble.

"But you can't wrap your children up in cotton wool. They are at a responsible age and becoming independent."
