A South Hornchurch boy who grew his hair for more than two years has had it cut for charity.
Freddie Fisher, 10, raised more than £2,400 for Little Princess Trust, which provides wigs for free to children and young people who have lost their hair due to cancer treatment or other conditions.

His mum Carly-Jane said he decided to grow his locks to help children with cancer after watching Stand Up to Cancer in the same year.
She added: "To say we are proud of Freddie is an understatement.
