We also enjoy a couple of musical performances that have attracted millions of views, from the busker to the curry house owner! The viral post...

We were also moved by the Twitter plea from John Woodward, who's got 6 months left to live after being diagnosed with brain cancer, asking fellow users to "be more supportive of eac...

But sadly, some parents have been accused of exploiting t...
