A plaque and mural honouring a 15-year-old boy killed during the Scarborough Bombardment has been unveiled.

On the morning of December 16 1914, hundreds of high explosive shells rained down on the Yorkshire coast when two German battlecruisers attacked, which killed George Harland Taylor.

A campaign to remember the victims has seen commemorative plaques erected across the town.
