He also added that he was simply ‘bored with life’.

According to Metro, the note read as follows:
‘To Mum and Dad,
'I have run away because I am bored of my life. Please don’t try to find me or make me come home. I don’t know how long I will be away for, but it won’t be any longer than a year.
‘You will find my school uniform in a bin bag in a small barn in the field on the green, down the road from Membury church. My bike is chained to the fence, there is a spare key to the lock on the window.
‘Please can you apologise to the restaurant and tell them that I will no longer be able to work there. I know you will be upset, but understand that I have to do this.
'From Arthur.’
His parents, Caroline and Jeremy Heeler-Frood, are desperately making an emotional appeal for Arthur to return. Have a look at their emotional plea in the video below:
