The parents of tragic Archie Battersbee have failed in an attempt to convince the Supreme Court to keep their son alive.
The 12-year-old’s mum and dad, Hollie Dance and Paul Battersbee, had asked for more time to carry on their battle after earlier this week a court ruled his ventilator could legally be switched off.
This afternoon the three justices from the Supreme Court dismissed an appeal from the parents to put a stop to the removal of their son's life-support treatment.
