Candlelit vigil for Josh McCormack

Date published: 29 September 2016


A candlelit vigil lit up Whitworth Memorial Gardens as people gathered to show their solidarity with five-year-old terminal cancer sufferer Josh McCormack and his parents Nicola and Kevin McCormack.

Josh’s story has touched thousands, and the touching gesture showed his parents that they are not alone.

The vigil did not stop at the gardens; many people across the UK also posted their lit candles to show they were with the family in spirit.
