#CHARLIEGARD

The parents of 11-monthold Charlie Gard spoke outside Great Ormond Street Hospital vowing to continue fighting for their son, with the hope of taking him to America to receive experimental treatment. @Michaelhudak said: ‘Many doctors said my 12 year old daughter would be dead by now. She’s battled for years and doing well. Give #Charliegard a chance #UK.’ @laura_tieffel tweeted: ‘I hope #Charliegard gets to come here & get a shot at life!! Prayers sent up for this handsome little guy & his wonderful loving parents!’ @shazzerbang posted: ‘No parent wants to stop fighting, I totally get their fight for Charlie, I hope the outcome is the best for all of you #Charliegard.’

Rudeness personified.’ @Dawndiaper shared: ‘Stop talking over the medal ceremony speech!! More disrespect!!! Ruined their moment @Bbcsport #Anniversarygames #Athletics.’
