REMEMBER Danny - that is the message from a grieving mum who is today marking the second anniversary since she buried her son.

Danny Adams died aged only 23 in April 2005, after collapsing in the street after a night out.

Since then, his mum Sue, of Acomb, York, has been a strong voice urging the younger community to exercise caution when they go out drinking.

It is two years since she went through what every mother dreads - burying her son at the prime of his young life.

She said: "Any time is hard, but this time of the year is hard, especially with Easter being around. We all stick together and get through it together. I've got my friends as well and they help."

Danny was found lying unconscious yards from his home in St Stephen's Road, Acomb, in the early hours of the morning of April 2.

Desperate attempts were made to resuscitate him, but he was later confirmed dead in York Hospital.

An inquest later found that although he may have suffered from hypothermia, he died from acute alcohol intoxication.

Sue urged young people to remember what happened to her son and take sensible precautions so the same did not befall them.

She said: "Be aware about drinking, stay with groups of friends, get home safely.

"With it being a Friday night, that's when they all go out binge drinking. It's the time of the week when it all starts. Before, when pubs shut at 11pm, the youngsters would go out at 8pm and try to get as many drinks down them before closing time.

"But now that they're open for longer, some of them still I think try to get it all in before 11pm - but they can slow down. Please, be on the safe side, make sure you get home safe."

Sue said the anniversary of Danny's death was always a particularly hard day for her.

On that day this year, she visited his grave at York Cemetery and found others had already put flowers there.

"There were loads of really nice flowers," she said. "It shows me that people still think and still care. He did have a lot of friends. I was quite surprised at how full the church was.

" It's nice to know that people are still thinking about him.

"It will be nice to think that people will think about the amount they're going to drink."
