The parents of a three-year-old who had both legs amputated earlier this year, said they were "overwhelmed" after finding out a fundraising campaign to buy their son new limbs has raised more than £32,000.

Kate Hadley, whose son Romeo had his legs removed after he was struck down with a rare condition called purpura fulminans - which can lead to tissue death and blood clots, said she was "truly humbled" by the public support to help the toddler.

Romeo has already undergone 15 operations but will continue to need rehabilitation and new prosthetic limbs both now and as he continues to grow.
