JAY Slater’s heartbroken best friend has shared a touching video of the teen dancing at a party in Tenerife.
Lucy Law, who the 19-year-old was on holiday with in Tenerife when he fell to his death, posted the clip ahead of Jay‘s funeral tomorrow.
The video shows Jay beaming as he dances with his arms in the air at a crowded pool party.
Loud music can be heard blaring as Jay grins and takes in the buzzing scene around him.
Accompanied with a yellow heart emoji, Lucy captioned in clip on her Instagram story: “Dancing as always”.
Lucy was one of the final people Jay spoke to before he tragically fell to his death in a remote mountainous region of Tenerife on June 17.
He had travelled to an Airbnb in the remote Masca village with two men after leaving a music festival at a nightclub almost an hour’s drive away.
Later that morning he called Lucy to say he was thirsty, lost and almost had on per cent phone battery.
His mobile cut out at 8.50am near a hiking trail in the Rural de Teno national park — an 11-hour trek from his apartment in the south of the island.
Police spent almost two weeks combing the vast area with drones, helicopters and sniffer dogs before turning to a private search.
Jay’s desperate dad Warren, 58, and brother Zak, 24, also kept up the hunt – retracing Jay’s steps almost every day in the blistering heat.
After 29 days, Jay’s body was found on July 15 deep in a ravine close to where his phone last pinged a phone tower.
Dramatic images showed the moment a helicopter crewman was winched into the chasm with his arms aloft in the delicate recovery operation.
A post mortem conducted in the UK confirmed that Jay died because of traumatic head injuries, consistent with a “fall from height”.
The coroner’s report said his death would have been instant.
After Jay’s body was found, Lucy shared an emotional tribute, saying she was “lost for words”.
She wrote: “Honestly lost for words.
“Always the happiest and most smiley person in the room, you was one of a kind Jay and you’ll be missed more than you know.
“I’m sure you’ll ‘have your dancing shoes polished and ready’ waiting for us all.
“We all love you buddy. Fly high.”
Lucy, 18, shared the message alongside a string of images and videos of the pals together over the years.
It comes as Jay’s funeral is set to be held tomorrow at Accrington Cemetery in Lancashire, close to Jay’s hometown of Oswaldtwistle.
Mourners have been asked not to bring bouquets, but are welcome to “bring a single rose to place with Jay”.
Devastated mum Debbie Duncan, 55, promised to give her beloved son the “send off he deserves”.
In a tribute, Jay’s family described the football-mad apprentice bricklayer as a “loving son”.
It read: “At the young age of five Jay started playing football for Huncoat United FC until the age of 17 and also did a few seasons with the Sunday team at St Joesph’s too.
“He also loved spending time chilling out with his friends.
“Jay’s love of music and dance started at a very young age.
“He loved attending music festivals and events across the country and also loved to socialise and meet new people.
“Jay will be very sadly missed by all those who knew him.”
