Celebrity cricket match honours Luke Batty

Young Victorian Luke Batty would have been 'chuffed' about the celebrity cricket match held in his honour, his mother said.

Hundreds turned out under sunny skies Sunday to honour the 11-year-old boy at the Tyabb oval where he lost his life.

His father, Greg Anderson, killed his son after cricket training on February 12, before being shot dead by police.

Luke's former cricket mates and classmates were among those who gathered at the ground on Sunday, alongside a celebrity line-up including professional cricketers, footballers and television stars.

His mother, Rosie Batty, said he would have been delighted by the event.
