The Wakefield schoolgirl bravely had almost 17ins cut from her hair for the Little Princess Trust - all in the name of best friend, Isla, who has Wilms Tumour.

Proud dad, Danny, said: "Last night was fantastic. We had Aylah and Isla along with Hope, a friend from school, around for a little party.

"They had a glass of NOsecco and some nibbles and Aylah had almost 17ins of hair cut off by friend Jess Huntkins who is currently training to be a hairdresser.

"She did a fantastic job and Isla got to do the first cut too."

Isla was diagnosed with Wilms Tumour in October 2019.

Her mum, Rachel, said: "She's been having treatment for over two years, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy and numerous surgeries, but she keeps smiling and attending school and trying to be as normal as possible. "

So far Aylah has raised £380 for the Little Princess Trust and it's hoped to raise even more.
