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 £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.
