Cathedral service for brave Ethan

A service of rememberance will be held later today for couragous Lincolnshire schoolboy Ethan Maull, who raised more than a hundred thousand pounds for the children's hospital where he was treated for cancer.

Ten year old Ethan was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a rare form of children's bone cancer, in December 2012.

After his diagnosis he set up Ethan Maull 'Up Yours to Cancer!' Foundation which raised more than £100,000 for Nottingham Children's Hospital where he was treated. The money was used to buy toys for the young patients.

Ethan died earlier this month , on May 5. Today's public service at Lincon Cathedral will be a celebration of the imspirational youngster's life and his family have requested mourners to wear colourful clothes and bright odd socks, as Ethan often did.

The public service will be followed by a private family-only funeral service .
