Along with the moving moment, Kym wrote: "This is our wonderful Daddy. For people that don’t know, he has incurable cancer, but is being treated by the amazing doctors and nurses at his local cancer centre to keep the horrible disease away for as long as possible.
" He started a new treatment and although he will never get to ring the end of treatment bell to mark the end of his journey with cancer, he got to ring it to mark the beginning of a new journey of hope and to give him a chance to say… I’m fighting back.

This day meant the world to dad, and it will be a day we never forget. Love you @daveyboy113 my hero."
