Grief-stricken David and Samantha Cameron yesterday paid an emotional tribute to the son whose death had left "a hole in our lives so big that words can’t describe it".
The couple said they "desperately" missed Ivan, six, as did their two younger children, Nancy, five, and Elwen, three,
Ivan, who had cerebral palsy and a rare form of epilepsy, died on Wednesday morning in hospital after suffering seizures during the night at the family’s West London home.
The Camerons made their first public comments since his death in the Tory leader’s weekly email to about 80,000 Tory supporters last night.
Mr Cameron wrote: "Sam and I have been overwhelmed by all the letters, cards, emails and flowers we have received about Ivan.
"Sending an email this week just gives us both a chance to say a big ’thank you’. It means a lot to know that others are thinking of us and him."
Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr and Mrs Cameron and their children.
