A heartwarming video has emerged from the UK of a young woman shaving her head in memory of her grandmother who died of cancer.

The footage, captured in Broadmayne on March 1, shows Sian Ferneyhough getting her head shaved.

''I shaved my hair off in beloved memory of my nan. She passed away with liver, lung and breast cancer at the age of 69 on the 1st march 2016,'' Sian later wrote online.

''I did this because she was a big part in my life she was such an inspiration to so many people.''

'She used to teach me loads of new things like how to become a good person and how to treat others how I want to be treated. When I was younger she helped me learn my first real word (flower), '' she continued.

''Doing the Brave the shave ment the world to me knowing I'm making her proud, I raised £755.23p which was unexpected and I am great full for everything that has been done,'' she added.
