Family pay tribute to 'ray of sunshine' Calverton boy who died of rare cancer

Tributes have been paid to a Nottinghamshire boy, described as a 'ray of sunshine', who died of a rare form of cancer. Ted Neal passed away on April 9 aged 16 months.

He had been battling a cancerous tumour that was detected in one of his sinuses around a year ago - a form so rare that it didn't have a name until January this year. It came after parents Jessica, 35, and Lee Neal, 38, noticed his face had swollen on holiday.

Despite chemotherapy and surgery, the cancer sadly spread to his brain and down his spinal cord. Jessica described her son as a "ray of sunshine".
