Liam Curry from South Shields, who died in the Manchester attack with his girlfriend Chloe Rutherford, has been described as an 'outstanding young man' by the team at the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.

Liam was just 14 years old when he started to raise money for charity. It followed the death of his grandfather, Jack Allen, who had cancer. His father, Andrew Curry, was also diagnosed with cancer and died in March this year.
