WATCH: Alzheimer's sufferer receives Pride of Britain Award after carpool karaoke hit

The father and son duo raised over £137,000 for charity.

Published 1st Nov 2016

Earlier this year, we followed Ted McDermott's rise to fame as he and his son Simon became internet sensations after uploading a video which went viral.

Ted was diagnosed with Alzheimer's three years ago, and as Simon explains on his JustGiving page, his Dad became progressively more violent. However, Simon said that "when we've got him singing again, he's back in the room. It's these moments that we treasure."

Following Simon and Ted's video, they raised more than £137,000 for the Alzheimer's Society, a charity that has helped the family cope with the disease.

Last night, they were awarded for their achievement and presented with a **Pride of Britain Award for Special Recognition** by Sir Cliff Richard and Joan Collins!

Unfortunately, due to his illness, Ted couldn't be there on the night. However, Simon gratefully accepted the award on behalf of both of them.
