We are extremely sad to say that Alfie Evans grew his wings at 2:30 am this morning.
After being removed from life support due to his degenerative and ultimately terminal condition, Alfie soldiered on for an amazing 5 days before passing surrounded by his devoted family.

Regardless of your opinion on the case – and I really don’t want to get into that debate, especially not at this time of mourning – we can all agree that the loss of a child is devastating beyond measure. Alfie won the hearts of millions of people around the world, and inspired a mass outpouring of love rarely ever seen, which is something his family should be SO proud of!
Alfie’s resounding legacy is love; pure, unconditional love, even for those we do not know.
It would be wonderful if we could all use this legacy of love as inspiration to ‘pay it forward’ by doing good deeds for people, in memory of Alfie and to spread some love. Buy a homeless person food. Go and keep a lonely elderly neighbour company a few times a week. Donate to charity. Pay a stranger a compliment. Volunteer for charity, or for a hospital. Spread some love.
In memory of Alfie! <3
