A FAMILY was treated to a trip to Disneyland Paris following the death of their son.

Noah Pettengell was just 20 months old when he died in April 2016, having suffered brain damage at birth.

His parents, Marc and Robyn, and three siblings from Basildon were nominated by Little Havens Hospice in Thundersley to take part in the trip.

It was organised by the Essex-based Spicerhaart estate agency group, which runs Haart estate agencies in Essex.

Mr Pettengell, 30, said: “It was just so wonderful to see the kids enjoying themselves and for us to be able to focus our attention on them.

“They loved absolutely everything, including breakfast with the characters and being spoiled.”
