Jay Slater’s family have left floral tributes near the spot where he died, along with messages describing him as a “beautiful boy” and “forever young”.
Bunches of white and pink chrysanthemums were left next to a large rock on a path leading to the ravine in Tenerife where the body of the 19-year-old was found on Monday morning.
The memorial, decorated with blue ribbons, also included a teddy bear wearing an England football shirt, a small angel with a jewelled crucifix and a red jar holding a candle.
A handwritten message from his mother, Debbie Turner, attached with a blue clothespin to one of the bouquets read: “To my beautiful boy. I’m so sorry I missed you. I miss you so much. You will be forever young and we will miss you forever. I love you so much, Mom.”
Another touching message linked to a post by Jay’s father Walter Slater read: ‘To my son, with love, Dad, always, XXXX’
A handwritten message from Jay’s mother, Debbie Turner, was pinned to one of the bouquets with a blue dowel.
A message from Jay’s older brother Zack that reads, “I love you, little bro,” and “I’ll take care of mommy and daddy.”
Jay Slater, 19, with his mother Debbie Duncan, 55, who spent weeks searching for her son.
The tribute was placed atop a blue ribbon tied around the post alongside a bracelet made of wooden beads, including one with a letter J.
A third handwritten message from Jay’s brother Zak, written in halting handwriting, was attached to a single white rose.
It said, “I love you, little bro. Never in a million years would I have thought I’d do this. I’ll take care of mom and dad. I hope you’re partying there with grandpa. I hope I see you again someday. Rest in peace, bro. Love you, Zak XX.”
A fourth tribute carried a photograph of Jay, with the words ‘Rest in peace Jay Slater, aged 19/19 years’.
The message, which was illustrated with four blue hearts and two crosses, added: “Tenerife will always have you in our hearts! You are gone, but we will never forget you. We love you and pray for you!”
The spot where the tributes were left is about 100 metres down a trail in the Barranco Juan López valley, which Jay is believed to have walked along shortly before his death.
It is about a mile from the deep ravine where he is believed to have fallen to his death four weeks ago while trying to walk back to his hotel in Los Cristianos after a night of partying.
The scene overlooking the beautiful, rugged valley and ravine in the distance was eerily quiet this morning, with the silence only broken by the cries of crows flying overhead.
Jay, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, went missing on June 17 after a night out when he attended the final day of the NRG music festival at Papagayo nightclub in the tourist resort of Playa de las Americas.

Jay Slater’s father, Warren Slater, and brother Zack Slater appear in Masca to watch and help with the search.
He had left his friends and gone with two men who drove him back to his Airbnb accommodation on the outskirts of the town of Masca, about 20 miles away.
While in the car, he sent a Snapchat message to his friends bragging that he had just stolen a £12,000 Rolex watch from a partygoer and was going to sell it for £10,000.
He later shared a photo on his Snapchat account, which showed him standing in the doorway of a house shortly after 7 a.m.
About an hour later he called his friend Lucy Law and told her he was “lost in the mountains with one percent battery and no water” and had missed a bus back south to his accommodation in Los Cristianos.
He said he had set out on foot to try to return to his hotel, even though it was some 11 hours away.
MailOnline later found a witness who revealed he had walked north out of the village, rather than taking the winding road south towards Los Cristianos.
The spot where the tributes were left is about 100 metres down a trail in the Barranco Juan López valley that Jay is believed to have walked along shortly before his death.
A vigil for Jay, where tearful friends gathered and paid tribute to the teenager.
Local residents have speculated that he may have decided it would have been quicker for him to find the coast and walk back along it, rather than walking the winding path back through the mountains.
They claim that he may have left the road and taken a track towards the Juan López valley after seeing the sea in the distance.
But he would find that the path ended abruptly after half a mile, leading him to climb up a slope before reaching rocky outcrops at the end of the valley closest to the coast.
It is believed that he tried to climb a ridge to continue trying to reach the sea before tripping and falling into the ravine.
It took search teams almost four weeks to find him, as the ravine area is very inaccessible.
Spanish authorities confirmed yesterday that the recovered body had been identified as that of Jay Froom.
His belongings were also found next to the body, which had injuries consistent with a fall from a height.
