The families of the boys who sadly died following a collision at Rauceby on 20 June have today (25 June) shared pictures of them.
17-year-old William Ray, known as Will, is pictured sitting on his sofa, while 18-year-old Eddie Shore is pictured outdoors wearing a hooded top.
The families have asked for privacy while they continue to come to terms with their loss, and ask that these pictures shared today are the ones used by anyone wishing to write or talk about their children.
Our enquiries into the circumstances of the collision are ongoing, and we continue to appeal to people not to speculate.

Pictured below is Eddie Shore:
We can now name the two boys who died following the collision at Rauceby as 17-year-old William Ray, known as Will, and 18 year-old Eddie Shore.
Both families have asked for privacy while they deal with their loss.
Two other boys who were travelling in the same car continue to receive medical care.
Our enquiries into the circumstances of the collision are ongoing, and we would ask that people do not speculate about what happened; such speculation is both very distressing for the families of those who have died and those who were injured, and can harm the investigation.
It is with great sadness we can now confirm an 18-year-old man has died from his injuries after this collision.
The man was a passenger in the black Ford Fiesta. Officers are supporting his family and the thoughts of those at Lincolnshire Police are with them.
Two other passengers remain in hospital, one of whom sustained serious injuries.
Our investigation into the collision is ongoing.
Note: This release was amended at 3.52pm on 23 June to clarify the condition of two of the passsengers in the Ford Fiesta.
We are saddened to confirm a 17-year-old boy has died in a two-vehicle collision at North Rauceby.
Officers were called to the incident involving a grey AUDI and a black Ford Fiesta on Newark Road at 9.41pm on Thursday, 20 June.
The occupants of the first vehicle sustained minimal injuries.
However, those in the second vehicle were taken to Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham where the 17-year-old – who was driving – sadly died.
Our thoughts are with their family at this extremely difficult time, and they are being supported by specially trained officers.
The road was closed, and diversions were put in place which have – as of around 9am today – now been removed.
We have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the collision and are now appealing for help from the public.
If you were in the area shortly before or after the collision, please get in touch. If you have dash cam footage or any information, no matter how small, it could prove crucial.
If you want to get in touch, email [email protected] quoting the incident number 495 of Thursday, 20 June.
