Little Joshua Jackson fulfilled a dream of leading out Liverpool on Sunday - and his brave fight against illness became one of the most talked about subjects among Twitter users worldwide.

The eight-year-old, who is battling against leukaemia for the second time in his life, was our official mascot during the 2-1 win over Aston Villa.

Afterwards his Twitter account @Battling_joshua posted this photo with the caption: #bestdayever #joshuabeatingcancer.

This morning another message was posted: "Morning everyone - yesterday was amazing! #thankyou for all your tweets! going to pub 2day to raise more money 4 @Bham_Childrens."

The hashtag #joshuabeatingcancer trended worldwide on Sunday and Joshua's account now has almost 18,000 followers.
