'We're remembering the soldiers - my heroes'

A boy from Cumbria has attracted millions of views on social media, after sharing his love for dressing up as a King's Guard.

Six-year-old Frank Gates is from Egremont, and nearly 30 million people have watched TikToks of him meeting Royal Guards in London, while dressed up just like them.

Now he's been selling poppies to his neighbours, and practising his marching, flag bearing and wreath laying ahead of taking part in a Remembrance service.
