A march has taken place through Redditch town centre today in honour of a boy who died after suffering cardiac arrest at home.

Paramedics were told to take Callum Cartlidge 18 miles to Worcestershire Hospital following the closure of the children's A&E at the nearby Alexandra Hospital.

Those behind the march today said it was a chance to reflect on what's being lost because of cuts to the NHS.
