:dateline:Sarah Leung, deputy headteacher of Squirrels Heath Infant School, Salisbury Road, Gidea Park, was �delighted� when she saw the tribute for the first time to pupil Milan Lall, a seven-year-old boy who died of leukaemia in June.
She said: �It�s simply amazing.”
�You can see so much work went into creating the bench with all of the detail. �We�re very happy that we have got something to remember him as he was so lovely.�
A super heroes day was held at the school where pupils and staff got to dress up as their favourite characters and raised more than �1,000 which paid for the tribute to Milan.
The bench which also features Spiderman and a samurai sword, was created by carpenter Andy O�Neill from Wild Wood Carving in Bristol.
When he was told about Milan�s story who battled leukaemia for several years, Andy couldn�t wait to get started on making the bench, with the end result completed in three days.
He said: �It is a really really sad story but memorial benches are special jobs because they do mean so much to the family and you get to put someone�s spirit into what you create.
�I am very proud of the bench and just hope that the family like it and think it is a good tribute to Milan.�
The memorial has been placed in the school�s playground where pupils can go and visit.
Sarah said: �Milan�s friends from his class have moved on to junior school so the pupils here now didn�t know him but because the bench is here, they all ask about him.�We never want to forget Milan and this tribute keeps his presence alive in the school.�
A beautiful and such happy face still bringing delight in lives of others. Bless you little Singh.!
