The girlfriend of Archie Lyndhurst posts a lengthy tribute to the youngster following his death at the age of 19.

The girlfriend of Archie Lyndhurst, Nethra Tilakumara, has posted a lengthy tribute online following the young actor's sudden death.

The 19-year-old - son of Only Fools and Horses star Nicholas Lyndhurst - was found dead at the family home in Fulham last week in what police described as non-suspicious circumstances.

Tilakumara met Archie while appearing together on the CBBC sitcom So Awkward and in her tribute she said that he had made her "the happiest girl in the whole wide world".

"Boyfriend doesn't do it justice. Archie you were my Person and Best friend all in one," she wrote. "To spend the rest of my life laughing and going on adventures with you, was just it for me.

"Everything made sense with you. You made me laugh like no one else and you loved me in such a way that I will forever just be grateful for.

"Being loved by you was a bonus, but I can proudly say you are the most incredible person that I have ever met and had the pleasure of being in love with.

"The world isn't ready for what's yet to come. You talented, beautiful soul, thank you for a lifetime I will never forget."

There was once a boy named Archie Lyndhurst and he made me the happiest girl in the whole wide world. A boy in a white beanie with his skateboard, swaggered through two wooden doors with an unimaginable lust for life down the hallway of Sylvia Young Theatre School. He sat across from me while my head was buried in a script, trying to book a job. He was there for his friend who was really nervous and auditioning too, he was always there for his friends. Blissfully unaware, I had no idea my future was sitting right in front of me. Boyfriend doesn't do it justice. Archie you were my Person and Best friend all in one. To spend the rest of my life laughing and going on adventures with you, was just it for me. Everything made sense with you. You made me laugh like no one else and you loved me in such a way that I will forever just be grateful for. Being loved by you was a bonus, but I can proudly say you are the most incredible person that I have ever met and had the pleasure of being in love with. The world isn't ready for what's yet to come. You talented, beautiful soul, thank you for a lifetime I will never forget. You have my heart forever. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for making me the luckiest girl in the world. Every day with you was the best day ever, because I finally met my match. I love you. Forever and Always, Your Tiny Dancer X
