SOMETIMES it takes someone like six-year-old Albert Lutkin, a pupil at Bricknall Primary School in Hull, to remind us that the world isn’t all terrorism, murder, mayhem and doom.

At his school sports day earlier this month Albert slowed his pace to stay with his friend, Jake Gladstone, also six, who suffers from cerebral palsy, so that Jake wouldn’t come last in the race – crossing the line together.

I defy anyone to watch the on-line video of their race and not feel the better for it.

It’s not psychopathic terrorists like Mohammed Lahouiaiej Bouhlel (the butcher of Nice) who should be on the front pages of our newspapers but people like young Albert.
