Bradley thanks well wishers for their birthday messages

Bradley Lowery from Blackhall is today celebrating his sixth birthday.

Bradley has captured the hearts of not only the North East but the whole world.

He has a rare form of childhood cancer called Neuroblastoma.

Bradley received 315,000 Christmas cards after an appeal went global - and this time, well-wishers were asked not to send a birthday card but to leave him a message online, and if they want, to donate the price of a card.

He has this message for everyone who took time out of their day to wish him happy birthday.
