Daughter's Instagram plan to help Alzheimer’s dad

The daughter of a man with early-onset Alzheimer's has documented his "precious moments" and daily struggles using photos on Instagram.

Ray Kirton was diagnosed with Alzheimer's seven years ago, aged 52.

His daughter, Mariel, from Leeds, has posted regularly since January 2015 to show "you can lead a happy life with the disease".

Ms Kirton, 21, said she also wanted to "tackle the stigma surrounding the brain disease".
