The heartbroken family of a brave teenager who was battling cancer have said they will "never forget him" after his lost his fight with the disease.
Dylan Reid was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in November 2020 and had recently returned home to the North East from Liverpool after being told the devastating news he had just days left to live. The Longbenton 14-year-old had previously had surgery to remove a tumour and underwent three intense rounds of chemotherapy to kill the cancerous cells in his blood.
But sadly, on Tuesday March 14, Dylan passed away at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary, just days after he and his family had attended the unveiling of a mural in his honour in Ouseburn. His family have since paid tribute to the "sassy" teen who fought cancer until the end.
