Mourners today gathered to pay tribute to a young girl who lost her battle with cancer after coronavirus lockdown stopped her from flying to the US for treatment.
Eva Williams, 10, passed away on January 8, around 12 months after she was diagnosed with a rare high-grade diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma brain tumour.
The girl, from Wrexham in north Wales, had complained of dizziness and blurred vision in December 2019 before being referred to Alder Hey Children s Hospital in Liverpool.
Here, a CT scan revealed a mass on her brain that was later confirmed to be cancer.
Her family raised more than £300,000 so Eva could undergo experimental treatment in New York, but she became unable to fly when travel restrictions were introduced amid the pandemic in April.
Family, friends and well-wishers say goodbye to Unbeatable Eva Williams
