Charlie Flynn

-

The heartbroke­n parents of a nine-year-old girl who died suddenly described her as their“hero”.

Family and friends dressed in bright colours to release balloons with special messages and kisses to the heavens as a final farewell to beautiful Heather Hunter at her funeral.

Heather’s heartbroke­n mum, Michelle, said:“She was an inspiratio­n and the way she fought her illness was amazing.”

Family and friends raised over £4000 in her memory. Boxer Charlie Flynn couldn’t wait to write the next chapter in his profession­al career as he was all set for a crack at the prestigiou­s WBA interconti­nental title.

The Newarthill fighter would make his ring return on October 7 at the SSE Hydro – where he picked up his last win.

However, it was a bitterswee­t outing for the Mailman last time around as an injury to his hand halted his chances of a televised bout on the Ricky Burns undercard.
