Hundreds gather in Bolton to pay touching tribute to The Wanted singer Tom Parker

Hundreds of people walked through the streets of Bolton in memory of The Wanted singer Tom Parker, visiting his old haunts in the town and places special to him.

Tom, who grew up in Tonge Moor, Bolton, died at a hospice in south-east London in March at the age of 33 after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. The 'Walk for Hope' walk was organised to celebrate Tom's life ahead of his 34th birthday this Thursday and raise money for a campaigning foundation.

Ahead of the Game foundation, which the event raised money for, said it aims to bridge a 'gap' in the NHS by providing free rehabilitation to those diagnosed with all types of cancer to make a positive impact on people's lives when they need it most.
