The six-year-old was given the tragic news on Thursday after doctors confirmed his tumours have grown at a rapid rate.

The terminally-ill Sunderland fan suffers from a rare cancer called neuroblastoma.

Bradley was sent for a chest X-ray after recording low oxygen levels following his latest radiotherapy treatment this week.

‘The reason his oxygen levels are low is because there isn’t much room in his lungs now.

‘I was told Bradley has now only got weeks to live because of how rapid the cancer is spreading.

‘Yes I knew this was coming but I thought it was going to be months not weeks.

‘My heart is broken in two, it is too soon for this to happen, it should never be happening to start with.

Bradley has moved people around the world with his battle against the disease and has even struck up a friendship with footballer Jermain Defoe.

The tragic news comes just over a week after Bradley’s family said scans had revealed new tumours, and the six-year-old was now receiving palliative care at home.

The celebrations also included fire-eaters, a funfair, marquee, jugglers and stilt-walkers.
