Teen with 'heart of gold' dies weeks after being crowned Prom King

The family of a "generous, kind-hearted" boy who died after a valiant cancer battle have vowed to fulfil his final wish.

George Galbraith, 16, was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma - a rare form of cancer affecting the soft tissue - in March 2020. He died on August 16 this year, not long after being crowned Prom King at Halewood Academy, which he attended.

Before he died, the brave teenager, who faced his illness "with grace and dignity and courage", expressed his desire to hand out presents to children at Alder Hey children's hospital this Christmas. Now, his family want to make his dream a reality.
