She wrote: "I'm so sad for this precious bubba but she isn't in pain or suffering any more.

"I remember you with grateful thanks Stacey, my beautiful granddaughter was very poorly with a brain tumour and was in GOSH [Great Ormond Street Hospital].

"After her surgery, which was successful, she got a condition called Posterior Fossa Syndrome, she lost the ability to walk, talk, and even swallow.

"It took years of rehabilitation but she battled to regain everything she lost.

"Somebody told you her story and you sent her a teddy bear, I'll never forget your kindness to a lost and frightened little girl.

"Anabel is 19 now and studying at college. I just thought I'd thank you from her nanny."

"Spending time, writing back, visiting, meeting incredible people, fundraising, and working with charities is just so special and a true privilige.
