Growing support for stricken Alfie Evans is also evident in Poland, following early interventions from the Vatican and Italy.

Alfie’s parents have been embroiled in a legal battle to get treatment for their son who has been cared for in Liverpool’s Alder Hey Hospital.

Poland’s President Andrzej Duda tweeted on Wednesday that “Alfie Evans must be saved”.

A pile of flowers, toys and candles has grown in front of the UK embassy in Warsaw amid sympathy for the sick child’s plight in the Catholic nation.
