In April this year, former footballer and reality TV star Ashley Cain and his partner, Safiyya Vorajee, lost their eight-month-old daughter Azaylia to leukaemia.

Last November, the couple appealed to people to register as stem cell donors after being told their daughter needed a transplant. It led to 41,000 people registering within 48 hours.

The couple spoke to BBC reporter Ashley John-Baptiste about their experiences of dealing with grief and bereavement.
