Archie Battersbee's mother described how proud she is to be his mum as the boy's tragic death was announced.
Today she released a new photo of the tragic schoolboy, hours after his life support was withdrawn following a prolonged battle.
The 12-year-old had been in a coma since he was found unconscious by his mother Hollie Dance in April and was being kept alive by a combination of medical interventions, including ventilation and drug treatments.
