Brave warrior will be 'forever young' after tumour battle

Tributes have come pouring in for a "brave warrior" who will be "forever young".

Young Aria Hodgkiss, from North Wales, lost her battle with an aggressive tumour at the age of four. On the day of her third birthday last year, she was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) - of which there is no current cure.
