A four-year-old boy with leukaemia has dropped off more than 400 bags of Christmas presents - at the children's hospitals where he received care.

Harley Firminger, 30, and her son Elliott Hole decided to give back to the local children’s hospitals by dropping off hundreds of gifts and advent calendars to keep sick kids entertained.

The mum-of-four from Orpington, Kent, first started bringing advent calendars to local hospitals last year after seeing a friend do the same.

This year, she decided to go up a level and set up an Amazon Wishlist for members of the community to buy gifts off of - which ended up with 346 items purchased.

Then, helped by her family including children Bligh, seven, Louis, two, Sadie, nine months, and Elliott, they loaded the gifts into “really good party bags”.

Presents included lots of sweets and chocolate, games, bubbles, stickers, stationary, and many more treats.

The family then dropped them off in crates to three local hospitals: the Royal Marsden in Sutton, Kings College in London, and Princess Royal University Hospital (PRUH) in Farnborough.
