A family have spoken of their heartbreak after a beloved father from Rochdale died just months after they noticed something was wrong while he was on holiday in Portugal.
Keith Jackson, 54, was in Portugal building a home for him and his partner for when they retired. However, his family noticed he was having problems speaking when they video-called him.
He went to doctors in the country, who diagnosed him with a type of brain cancer - a glioblastoma (GBM) - and urged him to return home. Tragically, however, after returning to Greater Manchester a scan at Salford Royal Hospital revealed he had a lesion on his brain.
