<p>Dillan Brown, 13, from Llandudno, is understood to have slipped, hit his head, and plunged into the water on Saturday while playing with a friend.</p>
<p>Police said a local teenager was recovered by coastguards at Pigeon’s Cove, on the Great Orme, at about 9.20pm on Saturday.</p>
<p>The pupil from Ysgol John Bright school was airlifted to Bangor hospital but later died.</p>
<p>It happened as the coastal town hosted the Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza – an annual three-day bank holiday festival which sees thousands of visitors lining the streets</p>
<p>Samuel Williams, who has a child with Dillan’s sister Kelly, said in a statement on behalf of relatives: <em>“He was a happy, polite soul, always well-mannered and loved his YouTube and Xbox.</em></p>
<p><em>“He was absolutely fantastic with my daughter Lilly-May, he was a brilliant uncle to her.</em></p>
<p><em>“Last night was a tragic turn of events – he had gone to Pigeon’s Cove with a friend and unfortunately he slipped, hit his head and fell into the sea, unfortunately he did not survive.</em></p>
<p><em>“His friend tried to help but he couldn’t get to him in time and so he was airlifted to hospital.</em></p>
<p><em>“On behalf of his mother, brothers and sisters, they would like to thank everybody for their kind words and actions in this tragic situation.</em></p>
<p><em>“Although this has absolutely destroyed the family, their faith in humanity has been restored.”</em></p>
<p>A fundraiser has been started to cover the schoolboy’s funeral and support his grieving family and a memorial gig for the teenager is being played on May 24, Mr Williams said.</p>
<p>North Wales Police said there were not thought to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.</p>
<p>Superintendent Nick Evans said: <em>“Our deepest condolences are with the family.</em></p>
<p><em>“We would ask that the family’s privacy is respected at this difficult time.”</em></p>
<p>The coroner has been informed.</p>
