His dad, also George Park, said: “Little George grows very attached to things and struggled to ride a normal push bike.

“He also has hyper mobility and suffers pains in his legs so his push bike seemed to give him more freedom.

“He attends Parklands School in Chichester and because of his special needs he doesn’t understand what’s happened.

“But anything that reminds him of his bike, like a picture, gets him very emotional and upset.

The distinctive bike is described as a Concept Mantis three-wheeled boys trike which is black and red, with the number 303 on the front and is valued at £200.
