Little Oscar Knox.
Oscar Knox, the little boy whose fight for life after being diagnosed with cancer touched the hearts of millions, has died.
A message posted on Facebook and Twitter this morning by his parents, Stephen and Fiona, says: “Our beautiful, amazing and much loved son Oscar James Knox gained his angel wings yesterday afternoon. Sleep tight little man. We love you so much! Xxx”
Five-year-old “Little Oscar,” as he affectionately became known, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a rare children’s cancer, in November 2011.
His parents went public in a bid to raise awareness and funds for Oscar’s care.
A huge support campaign was launched, backed by celebrities and sports stars.
The news comes weeks after Oscar was moved into the care of the Children’s Hospice.
