Blue and white balloons will be released in Leeds today in honour of a popular barber and father of four who took his own life.
Clide Thompson, also known as Barber C, was described as a great dad to Leoni-Leigh, 19, Samuel-Lee, six, Henry-Lee, five and Ralphy-Lee, three.
This afternoon (Thursday) from 5.30pm, his friends, family and children will release the balloons in Beeston as they say goodbye to him.

The poster sharing the event reads: “We celebrate the life of Clide with a balloon release with his family, friends and children. Please everybody that knows Clide come along and lets say goodbye to a truly amazing person.”
Leoni-Leigh's mum, Lindsey Hegarty, previously said: “He was funny, he had a really big heart and probably loved too much. He loved his kids forever.”
His daughter Leoni-Leigh also paid tribute to her dad and said: Dad, I know you have loved me as long as I've lived but I have loved you my whole life.
"I will always remember the moments of happiness we shared throughout the 19 years I had you, but it's not enough, today we are all reminded of how short life really is. It hurts so much to think you left us and even a thousand words can't bring you back.
"My heart hopes you are now at peace and can look down on me and my brothers as we miss you now, forever and always. I love you, dad."
