Sadly, despite the best efforts of doctors, he didn’t wake up and died on Wednesday night.

His parents Abigail Wilson and David Jenkins, who had been at his bedside at Newcastle’s Royal Victoria Infirmary, broke the tragic news.

Hundreds of people in his home town had held a balloon vigil in the hope he would pull through.

Abigail from Hartlepool, County Durham, said: “Jacob grew his angel wings at 7pm as people let off their balloons.

“We chose this time to let him go as we knew everyone would be thinking of him and have him in their thoughts.”

“There was nothing we could do.Jacob died in mine and his dad’s arms with his family by his side. We then went outside and released our own balloons.”

Hundreds of people arrived at Seaton Carew seafront just before the passing to release yellow balloons into the night sky as a show of support.

Jacob’s parents released their own balloons in memory of the little boy in a poignant tribute.

He said: “Hartlepool is a close knit town and we look after our own.

“This little lad has brought the whole town together and we want his parents to know we are thinking about them.

“Everybody’s hopes and prayers went up with those balloons, it was an amazing sight to see so many people gathered together for one little lad.

“As a parent it is chilling, there was nothing they could do, that could have been anybody’s son.”

Wendy Graham, 43, added: “Jacob’s story has really hit home, everybody in the town is talking about him.

“It’s lovely to think so many people care about him and I hope it’s a comfort to his parents.”
