SUPPORT Trucker with Joshie
BIG hearted truckers have become buddies with a Down’s syndrome victim targeted by trolls.
Joshua Dunne, 20, was sent cruel messages about dance videos he posted on TikTok with his cousin Tiffany Wood, 23.
Truckers, who call themselves “Joshie’s Army” sounded their horns to support him on his street in Clayton, Bradford.
Many now do his dance. Tiffany said: “He’s famous in the community.”

A WIDOW has given birth to her husband’s twins via IVF three years after he died of cancer.
Lucy Kelsall, 37, said the baby boys will be a way to ensure her husband David “is never forgotten”.
She added: “It was so emotional at the birth and I still can’t get my head around the fact that I have a bit of David with me for ever.”
Docs warned Lucy her chances of getting pregnant were slim because of complications with her womb.
But the boys – David and Samuel – were born as a result of their mum’s second round of IVF.
Community centre manager Lucy and mental health worker David married in 2012, two years before he was diagnosed with throat cancer.
They started trying for a baby and he decided to freeze his sperm before treatment made him infertile.
Over the course of three years, David had 99 rounds of radiotherapy and his voice box and part of his neck were removed. He died aged 45.
Lucy, from Brislington, in Bristol, said: “A few days before he died I told him I was still going to have his baby – he was so surprised and happy. He would have been an amazing father.
“Little David and David have the same eyes, and Samuel has his dad’s long legs. The hope of having his child kept me going and now I see a future again.
“I’ve saved some of his ashes for the boys to scatter when they’re older.”
David’s mum, Wilma, 85, from Preston, Lancs, said he “would be so happy” about the babies, who arrived 10
weeks ago.
