'God gave us the best Mummy that ever lived': Twin girls, eight, sing a Kylie song to their dying mother, 40, in her final hours - before writing tributes to her cuddles and love of chocolate for her funeral

A heartbreaking video of twin girls singing to their dying mother the day before she passed away has touched hearts around the world.

Earlier this week Lee Cripps, 39, from Berkshire took to Twitter to share a video of eight-year-old Sophie and Lauren singing Kylie Minogue's son Dancing to his wife, Alex, who passed away at home after battling a brain tumour.

It has been viewed more than 46,000 times and won praise from the singer herself after she spotted his tweet, and replied: 'Lee, thank you for sharing this tender moment of your girls singing to Alex.

'I'm so touched, and so very sorry for your loss. Sending you and your girls lots of love.'

Mother-of-two Alex was diagnosed in February 2014 and passed away at home in January 2019 with Lee holding her hand.

Both girls read out moving tributes to Alex at her funeral with Lauren saying she was 'lucky that God gave the very best Mummy that has ever lived', while Lauren recalled her 'gentle and kind' mother and eating Maltesers together.

Since her death Lee has made a vow to help their adored girls 'live life to the full' in the way his 'soulmate' would want him to. He is sharing his story to mark the beginning of Brain Tumour Awareness Month (BTAM) today.
