A BRAVE toddler who is struggling against an aggressive form of cancer enjoyed a special day out with her family.

Four-year-old Emily Woodend, who lives in East Bergholt, was given a royal treat at Hedingham Castle.

She is living with a cancer called neuroblastoma, and made a wish that she could be a princess for a day.

The day had been planned for June 30 but was bought forward after Emily's condition worsened.

Her day was arranged by the Make-A-Wish Foundation UK, a charity which grants wishes to children and young people with life-threatening illnesses.
