Grief-stricken Stacy and John Chadwick had asked staff from Mo's Barbers to trim his hair, according to the Sun.

But as a hairdresser from the shop cut Cameron's hair, his friend filmed it and posted it on Facebook.

One outraged friend responded to the video: "I cannot believe my friend trusted you to cut her precious son's hair before she laid him to rest and you took a video ... disgusting."

The shop later apologised and said: "I hope everyone forgives us, especially Cameron's family."
