People came together to release balloons at 6.00pm Friday (13 January) at Rochdale Town Hall in memory of Joshua McCormack, who died Friday morning at the age of five after a long battle with brain cancer.

Around 50 people were at the vigil and raised £130.

Proceeds from the donation bucket will go to Nicola and Kevin McCormack.
