A brave schoolboy from Haywards Heath has received a national award for his courage after surviving two years of gruelling cancer treatment.
Five-year-old Alexander Boxall, who had to have his eye removed after contracting retinoblastoma, was nominated by his proud grandma Colette for a Cancer Research UK Little Star Award.
She said: "I am, without doubt, the proudest granny in the land to have such a brave, handsome grandson who makes me laugh out loud every day.
"Alex will be my 'Little Star' for all time."
Alex received his silver star award from Cancer Research UK's Lynn Daly today (Friday), and wants to display it on his living room chimney.
