THE organisers of a major car meet set to take place in Irvine have confirmed the event has been cancelled.
Streetkulture's annual cruise was due to be held in the town on Sunday, May 25. Thousands of motorists have descended on Irvine beach park during previous events.
However, a decision has been taken to cancel this weekend's event following the tragic death of a 16-year-old in the area.
Kayden Moy, from East Kilbride, passed away after a disturbance on Irvine beach on Saturday evening, May 17. A 17-year-old boy has since been charged with his murder.
In light of this, organisers said the car cruise will not be going ahead out of respect for Kayden's family.
They also urged anyone able to donate to a GoFundMe page created in his memory.
A spokesperson said: "We are very saddened by the news that a young life was taken from us.
"As a team we have cancelled this event out of respect to the family, local community and police.
"We urge everyone not to head to the beach park anytime soon to allow space and peace.
"We offer our condolences to young Kayden’s family and friends."
