A popular sunflower attraction has been renamed for this year as a tribute to a beloved three-year-old boy who tragically died of cancer. Rhossili Sunflowers has paid tribute to Morgan Ridler, who sadly died on Wednesday after capturing thousands of hearts, by naming the attraction Morgan’s Sunflower Field.
Morgan from Swansea was diagnosed with a rare and complex form of cancer in October 2021 at two years old. After a relapse his parents Natalie and Matthew were told his treatment was not working and the focus would move to palliative care. The youngster was the inspiration behind Morgan's Army Charitable Foundation which has the slogan: 'No-one fights alone.'
This year Rob Morgan, owner of Rhossili Sunflowers, has dedicated his sunflower field to the inspirational young boy. He made the announcement on social media and said in a Facebook video: “We’re raising money for Morgan’s Army – which is Morgan Ridler – which started because of him. The little boy was three, had cancer, and passed away... He inspired tens of thousands of people who followed him with his battle over the last few years.”
