The mother of a 12-year-old girl with a spinal tumour who has only, at most, six months to live has pleaded with singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran to fulfil her daughter’s last birthday wish.

The girl, who on Thursday settled a High Court action over an alleged delay in the diagnosis of the tumour, cannot be named by order of the court.
