David Cameron is seen holding his beloved son just days before the six-year-old's death
Daily MailCradling his beloved son in his arms, this is the last photograph taken of David Cameron with six-year-old Ivan before the youngster died. The photograph is thought to have been taken just three days before Ivan, who was born with extremely rare Ohtahara syndrome, was suddenly taken ill overnight and died on February 25, 2009. This photograph is thought to have been taken just three days before Ivan, who was born with extremely rare Ohtahara syndrome, was suddenly taken ill overnight and died on February 25, 2009 Ivan’s condition, a form of severe epilepsy, meant he could suffer up to 30 seizures a day. David Cameron is pictured walking through the village of Chadlington near his Oxfordshire home after officially starting the Chadlington 'fun run', with his wife Samantha and children Ivan, Nancy and Elwen in 2009 Taken by a wellwisher who spotted the then Opposition Leader and his son enjoying a late winter’s morning, Cameron was said to be so enamoured by the image owing to its later significance that he had it framed and placed in Downing Street. The photographer who took the image said he would regularly see Cameron around Chipping Norton and asked for permission to shoot, noting the snowy scene made for ‘a lovely photograph.’ He handed Cameron a copy of the image later that year after a member of his local Conservative Association, who was in touch with the MP, said he would like one.
