The little boy’s grieving father has now paid a touching tribute to his son, saying he would “instantly light up a room”.
He posted on social media: “He was the sweetest, sweetest boy in the world, with the right dose of cheekiness and love.
“He would instantly light up a room and drew everyone towards him with his loving personality.
“In his short four and a half years, he has given us so many memories which we will cherish everyday and I will take the sorrow of his departure to my grave.
“Your baba waits for the day we are reunited.”
