Tributes have flooded in for a dad who died just days after being declared cancer free.

Dean Mollard, from Upton, was diagnosed with testicular cancer at 23-years-old, before being later diagnosed with prostate cancer. The dad-of-three battled the disease from ages 24 to 33 and was in and out of hospital for treatment.
