Mum Angie Stoneage said: “It was a wonderful evening meeting some of Scott’s friends. I’m so grateful that Scott’s memory will live on. He would have been overwhelmed.”
Bingham, who was competing in Germany, said: “I can’t believe it’s been over a year already. I wish I was there. Well done everyone and all the best.”
