His wife says he 'put up an amazing fight'
Star Wars superfan Daniel Fleetwood, who was given the chance to watch The Force Awakens before its release, has died.
His wife Ashley Fleetwood wrote on Facebook:
“Daniel put up an amazing fight to the very end. He is now one with God and with the force. He passed in his sleep and in peace. He will always be my idol and my hero. Please hug uncle Marc for me and give Lucy lots of kisses. Rest in peace my love.”
