What's particularly cruel for Bradley is that he was very ill, survived and got the all clear, spent 18 months with his family in total happiness, loving school, and then his family learned the cancer had come back and later, that it was terminal. Much of life is a lottery

The American-born filmmaker George A Romero, who created the Living Dead movie franchise, has died at the age of 77, his manager has said.

Romero died in his sleep on Sunday with his wife and daughter at his side, after a "brief but aggressive battle" with lung cancer, Chris Roe said.

Romero co-wrote and directed the film that started the zombie series Night of the Living Dead in 1968.

It led to a number of sequels - and a host of imitators.

I used to love watching the old-school zombie flicks, before the days of CGI - cheesy, but also shocking and scary at the time
