GREATER Manchester’s top cop has become a patron of the charity running in the name of disabled Bury teenager Joshua Wilson.

Sir Peter Fahy, chief constable of Greater Manchester Police, is the latest patron of the Joshua Wilson Brain Tumour Charity, which was set up last year to raise money for children suffering from similar conditions to Joshua.

The 14-year-old was left severely disabled after being diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of three, and now has a terminal lung condition because of post-operative complications.

Sir Peter first met Joshua when he played a starring role in a light-hearted Gangnam Style dance video, with the help of officers from the Prestwich and Whitefield neighbourhood policing team.

He joins Sky TV presenter Kay Burley, Parklife Festival organiser Sacha Lord-Marchionne, rugby league player Adrian Morley and Right Said Fred singer Richard Fairbrass as the charity’s patrons.

Dawn Fidler, Joshua’s mother, said: “We are very proud that Sir Peter Fahy has become a patron. Josh adores the police and all the emergency services and ever since the GMP Gangnam Video, he has considered him as a real friend.”
