An opportunity to get inked in memory of an eight-year-old girl who inspired so many during her life has been set up between her family and city tattooist.

Amber Sheehy was just five when she was diagnosed with a medulloblastoma brain tumour in April 2019 after she started having headaches and being sick in the mornings.

The Norwich City superfan fought the tumour - ringing the celebratory bell in June 2021, marking the end of her treatment - before receiving news in April 2022 it had returned.

During her "hardest day yet" coping with the loss, Amber's mum, Amanda Sheehy, has been thinking up ideas for their registered charity, Amber's Army - including the chance to get a unique tattoo in memory of their little girl.

The 42-year-old said the idea came to her when chatting with a friend, saying: "We were discussing what tattoos to get in memory of Amber.

"I said I definitely wanted to get a gold ribbon, which is the recognised symbol for childhood cancer and my friend said she'd also get that and many others would too.

"So after speaking to others I put it forward to my tattooist at ET Tattoo Studio who said it was a brilliant idea and offered to do it all for free.

"There's also going to be temporary tattoos available, face painting, a bake sale and a raffle to help support Amber's Army."

All money made from the day, which runs from 10am to 4pm on May 7, will go to Amber's Army.

Mrs Sheehy said Mother's Day, on March 19, was the "worst day without a shadow of a doubt" since Amber died.

She added: "I struggled to sleep and it was a hard day.

"But I was inundated with messages of love, gifts from everyone, including flowers from my son and complimentary tickets to watch Man City against Burnley.

"So I don't feel alone at all."

Designs for the tattoo day and to book a slot can be found on the Amber's Army website.
