Listen on BBC Sounds: Noah will be treated like royalty when Kidderminster Harriers face Needham Market on Saturday

An eight-year-old boy with a rare type of cancer will live out one of his dreams when he becomes the mascot for his favourite football team.

Noah, a pupil in Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire, was diagnosed in July with kidney cancer, after initially complaining of stomach pain.

He is a regular at Kidderminster Harriers games and will be their mascot on Saturday after winning a competition.

Harriers players Tapio Boudet and Ben Beresford helped spring the surprise at Noah's school and Boudet said: "It was fantastic to see his face".
