Shaw was one of Hamilton's biggest fans, and earlier in May, Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes team arranged for one of their Formula 1 cars to park outside the five-year-old boy's home in Surrey after the 2019 Spanish GP in Barcelona earlier in May. 

Harry had been battling a rare form of bone cancer.

Hamilton had dedicated his 2019 Spanish GP win to his "biggest little fan" after receiving a message from Harry before the race last Sunday. The 5-times world champion said Harry had inspired to push for victory in the race.

James Shaw, Harry's father, says that only 2% of all funds raised goes towards children with cancer. 

Shaw said: "Just seeing how Harry has suffered this last month has been enough for Charlotte and I to realise that we have to do something." 

Hamilton had posted this message below on May 12 from Harry, just before the Spanish Grand Prix:
