James Jordan today lays to rest his dear dad.
Allan was diagnosed with a brain tumour last year after suffering a series of strokes, and today his loved ones gather to remember his life.
"Today is the funeral of the most amazing man I have ever met," former Strictly dancer James tweeted this morning.
He's since been flooded with kind words and messages of condolence, including from one who wrote: "Sending strength to you and your family James. Unfortunately I know that feeling of waking up knowing today is the day. The way things are at the moment makes that final journey so much harder."
Another offered: "Thoughts are with you and your family today xx."
James shared the news of his dad's death last month, writing: "My dad became an angel at 8.05am. I will forever miss him. My dad will always be my HERO. RIP Daddy."
In the months before his death, James has been tagging The Brain Tumour Charity in a number of tweets as he drummed up support for the organisation among his followers.
"No one should have to go through what my family are watching my dad go through," he wrote.
"I pray to God that you come soon and make him one of your angels.
"He has his bags packed and is ready to go and see his mum and dad again.
"My dad is my hero. @BrainTumourOrg needs your support."
And in a candid video, James sat at his desk and told followers: "My dad had a Stage Four brain tumour, a glioblastoma. He was diagnosed approximately one year ago, and myself and my family watched him slowly disappear.
"It's an absolutely horrendous, horrendous disease. Cancer is awful no matter which cancer it is, but brain tumour in particular takes away that person's identity a lot.
"Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killers in children and adults under 40, and out of £600 million which is raised currently in the UK, less than 3% of that goes to funding for brain tumour treatments."
