The family of a boy who died when a car slipped down a driveway and crushed him, will open a park in his memory today.

Harry Patterson was just 5 years old when he was killed in 2011 at his home in Alltwen in the Swansea Valley.

His mother Michelle and father Christian established a fund in his memory, and a park was the first of their objectives.

Work on the park started in July, and friends, family and supporters will officially open the park at 2pm today.

As part of their charity work in his memory, Harry's parents also encourage people to wear odd socks for 'National Odd Socks Day of Adventure', which spells out Nos Da - goodnight in Welsh.

Harry's parents chose the theme because he loved wearing odd socks.
