There are some sad news this afternoon, as 5-year-old Ben Farrell has sadly passed away after a long and brave battle with cancer.
It is understood Ben passed away peacefully earlier today, surrounded by his family.
Ben had been diagnosed with Stage IV on Christmas Eve 2015. He underwent 19 rounds of radiotherapy, but the treatment was ultimately unsuccesful.
Through fund-raising campaigns, enough money was raised to transfer Ben to the US, where he could receive further treatment.
However, it was not to be, as the little fighter passed away today.
RIP.
