Dementia sufferer Ted's in-car karaoke goes viral
Ted McDermott has spent most of his life touring the UK as a singer, before developing Alzheimer's Disease.
His son Simon started filming their in-car singalongs and posting the videos online in aid of the Alzheimer's Society.
He hoped to raise a thousand pounds but has now raised more than 拢29,000.
Simon told Charlie Charlton about the difficulties of coming to terms with his father's dementia, and how Ted still loves to sing even though his condition has deteriorated.
