The family of a desperately sick five-year-old football fan with cancer have revealed the latest and final round of his treatment has failed.

A message on Bradley Lowery's Facebook page said the treatment had been his "last option" and all he could do at this stage was create memories.

Bradley, who has neuroblastoma, was due to attend Saturday's Grand National race.

His family said they were "heartbroken" at the news.

Bradley had just been signed up to take part in a new therapy at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

The statement said: "Scan results show treatment that Bradley has been receiving is not working, this means we will not get him cancer free as this was our last option.
