Wimbledon honour for Elijah
An 11-year-old from Brixton who is battling leukaemia performed the coin toss at today's historic Wimbledon final.
Elijah Ortiz-Herrera was representing Make-A-Wish Foundation UK, a charity which grants wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions.
He was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in February 2010 and has to have regular blood tests, chemotherapy and lumbar punctures.
He is a keen tennis fan but struggles to play because of the side-effects of his treatment.
Today was his first time at the All England Club.
