A teenage blogger with terminal cancer is close to raising £1m for charity after posting his final message to followers.
Stephen Sutton, 19, from Burntwood, Staffordshire, was diagnosed with bowel cancer aged 15 and started raising funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
After reaching his initial target of £10,000, he then set out to raise £1m.
On Tuesday, he posted on Facebook: "It's a final thumbs up from me! I think this is just one hurdle too far."
He told his thousands of friends and followers that it would be his last post and any further updates would be from family members.
He wrote: "It's a shame the end has come so suddenly. There's so many people I haven't got round to properly thank or say goodbye too. Apologies for that.
"I will continue fighting for as long as I can, and whatever happens next I want you all to know I am currently in a good place mentally and at ease with the situation."
Tuesday's messages prompted people to pledge more than £250,000 overnight and his fundraising total now stands at more than £800,000.
He used a bucket list featuring things he wanted to accomplish before he died to help raise funds.
It included playing the drums in front of 90,000 people, hugging an elephant and getting a tattoo.
