Teenage cancer hero Stephen Sutton has been awarded appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) after his courageous and selfless campaign to raise cash to fight the disease.

The 19-year-old was told just days before he died in May that he had been included on the's Queen's Birthday Honours List.

Proud mum Jane said when she broke the news to her son, who raised nearly £4million for the Teenage Cancer Trust, he gave a thumbs up and declared: "Awesome."

Last year Stephen posted a bucket list online and start blogging about his journey on Facebook.com/stephensstory. Soon after, "Stephen's Story" grew into an inspiring global fundraising opportunity.

"I've achieved all kinds of fun and wonderful things."
